The situation of the trapped Greeks is dramatic – “We don’t know if we will make it”
A video document from the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Khartoum, where 15 Greeks are trapped since yesterday, was published by “Dekatians” in SKAI.
Through the half-closed window, the hostilities can be seen while shots and explosions are constantly heard.
From inside the church, Mrs. Alexandra Kalimeri quietly described the dramatic situation they are facing.
“We are having a very difficult time, the shooting outside does not stop, we cannot go outside. The doorman of the Greek community came and begged us not to go out because there are people killed and shots are constantly being fired.
We have three small children with us. Some food, which may run out tomorrow. All of Sudan has no electricity,” described Ms. Kalimeri.
At the same time, two Greeks are hospitalized in the city’s hospitals after injuries they suffered yesterday when a rocket fell outside the church. The two injured Greeks are awaiting surgery however there are serious shortages of materials such as blades and the shops supplying the hospital are currently closed due to the state of emergency.
According to the latest tally by the Sudanese Medical Association, at least 97 civilians have been killed and 365 others injured since hostilities broke out between the Sudanese army and paramilitaries.
The World Health Organization speaks of 83 dead and 1,126 injured and points out that the situation in hospitals is tragic.
