The first British nationals returning home after being evacuated from Sudan arrived in Bristol last week. This is according to the Bristol Sudanese Community Association, which is monitoring the situation closely in Khartoum where there is a ceasefire following fierce fighting between two warring factions in the city.
Secretary of the association Mohammed Elsharif said: “The first families should have arrived while others will still be returning . It’s a tricky situation as some do not want to leave family behind, such as a partner or parent who may not have a British passport.
“It’s a tricky situation and we are dealing with this day by day,” said Mr Elsharif who is in contact with families in Khartoum, but said intermittent internet was affecting communications. He added: “It’s very hard as medical assistance and access to hospitals is lacking for those who are injured and food and water are also a big issue.
