First pics of Brits rushed out of Sudan as they land back in the UK
to the movie The Purge - which features a society where lawlessness and murder run rife.
Brit charity worker Yasmin Sholgami told the BBC her grandparents are trapped in Khartoum without food and water."Little does the government know that there are many areas in the centre of Khartoum that are too dangerous to leave your house without help from some sort of official," said Yasmin. Home Secretary Suella Braverman said on Wednesday morning that 200 to 300 people had been brought out so far - and defended the UK's response to the crisis.
She said that "unlike in other countries", Germany's evacuation had included all its nationals and not just embassy staff.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said it was "right" that diplomats were prioritised "because they were being targeted".But Foreign Secretary James Cleverly warned the extraction of UK nationals is "inherently dangerous" as "we cannot be sure for how long it will hold".
But millions of Sudanese are unable to flee what is one of the world's poorest countries, with a history of military coups. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned earlier that Sudan was on "the edge of the abyss" and that the violence "could engulf the whole region and beyond".
