The UK is to temporarily close its embassy in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, because of worsening violence.
The Foreign Office, which has urged Britons to leave the country immediately, said consular assistance would not be available from Monday.
Ambassador Michael Aron described the situation as “very sad” and said staff would return to the embassy “as soon as security allows”.
Arrangements are being made to help British nationals leave Libya.
The country has been gripped by instability since the uprising in 2011.
More than 200 people have been killed in Tripoli and Benghazi in the past two weeks.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of the two cities on Friday to denounce militias who have been fighting Libyan armed forces.
On Wednesday, British Airways suspended flights to and from Tripoli up to and including 5 August due to the security situation at the country’s main international airport.
