Asian Nations Rush to Evacuate Citizens from Sudan Amid Heavy Fighting: Latest Updates

Several Asian nations are racing to evacuate their citizens from Sudan amid the heavy fighting between rival military factions in the capital city of Khartoum. As more than 420 people have been killed and over 3,700 injured, millions of Sudanese people are left without basic services. Foreign governments have intensified efforts to evacuate their stranded citizens by air, over land or via Port Sudan on the Red Sea since the ongoing violence affected the operations at the main international airport and limited other safe passage options. Indonesians, Filipinos, and Indians are among the citizens waiting to be evacuated from Sudan. The evacuations are happening alongside similar operations by the US, European countries, and other foreign governments.
