Britons have been warned to leave Irbil, the capital of Kurdish Iraq, as Islamist fighters advance towards the city.
The move comes as UK Secretary of State for Defence Michael Fallon said that Britain was offering help to the Americans in their efforts to provide humanitarian support to people trapped by the advance.
Thousands of of Iraqis are said to be stranded in mountains in the north of the country, many without food or water, after ISIS swept into their cities, forcing them to flee.
ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, have moved across northern Iraq and are also said to be threatening Kurdish territory.
The Foreign Office has advised Britons not to travel to Kurdish Iraq, as the security situation there deteriorates.
Britons already in Kurdistan, including those in Irbil, have been told to remove themselves from areas close to the fighting.
Anyone in towns south west of Irbil was advised to leave immediately.
