Parents of Mayo woman trapped in war-torn Sudan make desperate evacuation plea

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.”
