OTTAWA - Canadians still in Syria are being advised to get out of the Middle Eastern country because of the rising violence.
Foreign Affairs has posted a travel advisory on its website that says Canadians should consider leaving by commercial means while the possibility is still there.
It's also advising people not to travel to Syria.
At least 120 people have died during two days of clashes between protesters and forces loyal to embattled President Bashar Assad.
Foreign Affairs predicts violence is likely to escalate in the coming days.
Syria is one of many countries in the region being rocked by reform protests against hardline regimes.
