A Scots mum and her kids were desperately trying to be included in a mass evacuation of Brits from war-torn Sudan last night after a terrifying journey to the airbase unfolded “like a movie”.
Jennifer McLellan, a teacher from Islay, and her family are among thousands of UK citizens who need to be rescued amid a ceasefire around capital Khartoum.
The 36-year-old told the Record how she, her husband and four children made a hazardous dash to the military airbase which saw them faced with gunfire after their car tyre blew out and forced to pay demands for hundreds of pounds to get them to safety.
