Provide aid to overseas British Citizens during Covid-19
Provide financial aid or provide chartered flights (at a reasonable or subsidised cost) to British Citizens trapped overseas during this Covid-19 pandemic
We are an extremely at risk group with no rights or entitlements to the countries we currently occupy
Flights are reduced/location restricted and are at a premium cost making it difficult for those overseas to travel back to the UK as currently being advised.
However, considering the extreme risk factors re travel and continuing the spread, financial aid should be considered for a limited period of time until further developments can confirm safe passage.
We are an extremely at risk group with no rights or entitlements to the countries we currently occupy.
