A group of 43 Chinese fleeing from Libya have left for Beijing via Egypt at 1:25 p.m. ( 1125 GMT) by commercial plane on Wednesday, the Chinese Embassy in Egypt said.

A total of 83 Chinese who were evacuated from Libya where hundreds of protesters were killed in the deadly unrest against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule arrived in Egypt's northern port city of Alexandria on Wednesday morning.

The remaining 40 Chinese will leave for Beijing on Wednesday afternoon, the Chinese embassy said.
