A second charter flight carrying Australians out of Lebanon has landed in Cyprus this morning with hundreds now awaiting to travel onwards to Sydney.

About 229 Australian nationals were on board the first mercy flight from war-torn Beirut, which touched down on the Mediterranean island yesterday.

The second charter carrying another 200 people arrived safely early this morning.

They will be processed at Larnaca Airport and from there two Qantas flights will take them to Sydney tomorrow and Tuesday.

Those coming off the flight said they were relieved to be safe and on their way back to Australia.

But, many are also feeling guilt, having left family and friends behind in a place that is now so very dangerous.

A tearful Karla told 9News that she was forced to leave her grandparents, aunties and uncles behind.

“People think it’s the right thing to do and people are happy to leave but I don’t know if we’re happy or not because you’re leaving your family behind, you’re leaving your country,” she said.

“You’re going to a safer place but you’re leaving everybody else behind in danger.” 

“It’s good that we get out,” Lodi Khalan told 9News.

“It’s better for the kids as well.”

When asked what it’s like in Lebanon currently, Khalan said: “Terrible, there is nothing to say in a good way”.

Over 3000 Australians in Lebanon are registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) as wanting to depart.

About 41 Australians were evacuated from Lebanon earlier in the week on Canadian-assisted flights.
