The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Sri Lanka and urged Brits to avoid travelling to the country unless it's absolutely necessary.
The change in advice comes after nationwide protests have been taking place across Sri Lanka, as the country faces an economic crisis which includes shortages of medicines, fuel, and food. Locals are also suffering from daily power cuts due to electricity rationing.
Protests have been taking place since March 31, while a State of Emergency has been declared in May, alongside an island-wide curfew.
