   Speaking to The Asian Age, Elizabeth Corwin, director of the US Embassy, said they are unable to quantify how many US citizens have left the country. With regard to the Embassy staff, she said: "Members of the Embassy and Consulate were given a choice if they wanted to leave or not. This is applicable to family members of the staff. I do not think any of our members have left." Asked if the Embassy would continue to function, she said: "Essential staff will be here. We will be working." An official from the British Deputy High Commission, who did not want to be identified, said: "British nationals are leaving India. As far as I know, 50 per cent of British nationals who were in India have left. However, I do not have the exact figures." Though the letter sent from the British Consulate does not mention any time frame by which British nationals could return to India, it states: "You will be kept informed about the situation in the region." A spokesperson from the Italian Consulate said they have not asked any of their employees to return even though the situation in India is tense.

   "When aircraft from the aircraft carrier were flying north of Crete yesterday (May 26) afternoon, they were in contact with Greek civil aviation," Elizabeth Corwin, spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy in Athens, told AFP. "Then Hellenic aircraft approached to confirm as usual the identity of the U.S. aircraft. From what we can understand, the Greek ministry of defense told U.S. to call off and go back." The 46-year-old Enterprise, the longest aircraft carrier in the world, left Souda Bay on the evening of May 16 as planned, after spending four days at the base, Corwin said.
