The last of 30 military aircraft flights since April 25 to evacuate British nationals trapped in the northeast African country where hostilities have raged since the middle of last month took off from Port Sudan on Wednesday night, the British Foreign Office said in a statement.
As part of the international effort, London removed over 1,200 foreigners, including Americans, Irish and New Zealanders, he explained.
In addition, the British government announced that it will allocate 5 million pounds to support refugees from Sudan, where hostilities have been raging since April 15.
Aid — “food, shelter, medical support and drinking water” — will be offered to the “tens of thousands of people who have fled the violence,” Undersecretary of State for Development Andrew Mitchell explained, according to the press release.
