UK Ministry of Defense on Monday said a Royal Air Force (RAF) plane is prepared to be sent to Tunisia.

The Boeing C17 military transport plane will take part in evacuating casualties of Friday's terror attack in Sousse, the ministry added.

Prime Minister David Cameron told BBC radio that the bodies of the British victims could also be repatriated.

Cameron said that Home Secretary Theresa May would travel to Tunisia Monday along with junior foreign minister Tobias Ellwood to meet Tunisian ministers and see the situation for themselves in the resort where Friday's attack took place.

A total of 38 people were killed when a gunman opened fire on a beach near the city of Sousse.

At least 15 victims were from Britain and British media reports say the toll could rise to more than 30.
