Foreign secretary William Hague's plan to evacuate British citizens from Libya came under heavy criticism after a rescue plane chartered by the government broke down at Gatwick airport and its departure was delayed by more than nine hours.
Stranded Britons reported attacks by looters and shortages of food and water as anger grew at the government's slow response to the chaos engulfing Libya. The Foreign Office had said the Boeing 757 would take off at 12.30pm, but it was not until 10.15pm that officials reported that it had finally left for Tripoli. It will not arrive in Libya until Thursday .
On Wednesday 3,000 of the 10,000 Turkish citizens based in Libya set sail for home escorted by a Turkish navy frigate, and two French military planes have already brought 402 French nationals back to Paris. A Dutch military plane evacuated 82 people late on Tuesday, including 32 Dutch citizens and 50 people from other countries, including the UK.
