The parents of an Irish woman trapped in war-torn Sudan with her family have demanded urgent action to get them to safety.
Catherine and John McLoughlin, from Co Mayo, were told by officials that high-level meetings were taking place to consider the evacuation of their daughter Kathy, her husband and two young children.
Mrs McLoughlin said: “We can do nothing. We feel so helpless. The ceasefire hasn’t materialised. Our little grandchildren are so traumatised. The family are in danger.”
