NHS doctors and families struggle to evacuate Sudan amidst crisis.
TL;DR Summary
The UK government has reversed its policy and allowed more than 20 NHS medics in Sudan, who have UK work permits but are not British nationals, to board evacuation flights out of the country. The change comes just hours before the UK's final rescue flights out of Sudan. British nationals and the NHS doctors hoping to leave war-torn Sudan now have until midday local time (11:00 BST) to reach the Wadi Seidna airfield, with the final flight to depart at 18:00 BST on Saturday.
