Britain said on Monday it was exploring options to provide humanitarian assistance to Sudan in coordination with its international allies, the United Nations and NGOs, after a large-scale evacuation of its citizens from the northeast African country.
A total of 2,197 people had been evacuated from Sudan as of 1630 GMT, the government said in a statement, adding that it has set up a team at Port Sudan to provide consular assistance to Britons, including those leaving by commercial routes.
