The family of a Manchester man trapped in war-torn Sudan have told of their fears as fierce fighting continues to rage. More than 400 people have been killed and 3,500 injured after war broke out in the north east African country.
Battles continue on the streets of the capital Khartoum, sparking fears of a humanitarian catastrophe. Elmugiera Hafazalla, a delivery driver and university student from Gorton, is among those trapped in the city after flying out for earlier this month ahead of a family wedding.
His ex-wife Siham Noureldin and son, Manchester Evening News reporter Hakim Hafazalla, were meant to be joining him, but cancelled their travel plans after the fighting broke out.
