STORYLINE:
Turkey has deployed two navy ships to evacuate its citizens from Lebanon amid rising tensions in the region.

According to a statement from the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the ships, which can accommodate up to 2,000 passengers, will start evacuations Wednesday.

The two ships are part of a larger six-vessel convoy that departed the southern port of Mersin early Wednesday.

It sailed through the Mediterranean Sea and reached Beirut Wednesday afternoon.

Besides evacuating citizens, the ships will be carrying humanitarian aid for Lebanon, the ministry said.

The more than 300 tons of aid includes tents, food and blankets, according to the Turkish defense ministry.

The foreign ministry said additional evacuations would be organized if necessary.
