Foreigners evacuated as Sudanese seek refuge from ongoing conflict

Foreign governments are evacuating their citizens from Sudan as Sudanese and other foreigners seek ways to escape the ongoing fighting between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces. Over 420 people, including 264 civilians, have been killed and more than 3,700 wounded in nine days of fighting. The violence has affected operations at the main international airport, destroying civilian planes and damaging at least one runway. Hospitals have struggled as violence rages, and many wounded are stranded by the fighting.
