Thousands of tourists flee Tunisia terror attack as British death toll rises to 15

Thousands of UK holidaymakers are fleeing Tunisia in the aftermath of the beach resort massacre that left at least 15 British people dead. Foreign minister Tobias Ellwood said that the number was still expected to rise. He called it the “most significant attack on the British people” since the July 7 attacks in 2005, when 52 people were killed. Tour companies have hurriedly arranged coaches and flights to get tourists home, with most wanting to get out of the country as quickly as possible. More than 20,000 Britons were on holiday in the country at the time of the attack, in which a gunman disguised as a tourist opened fire on holidaymakers sunbathing on a beach, killing 38.

Sadly, we believe the majority are British of those who have been killed or injured.

The first British victims of the Tunisia terror attack have been identified. According to Sky sources, one is Carly Lovett. The 24-year-old recently became engaged, according to her Facebook page, and worked as a beauty blogger. Miss Lovett, was with her fiancee when she was killed, and they were due to return home today, it was reported. A second British victim has been named as Adrian Evans, who worked for Sandwell Council in the West Midlands as a manager in the gas services department.
