The UK has already announced an extra rescue flight for British nationals stuck in the conflict-stricken country, as a ceasefire extension is made by three days.
However, despite the initial 72-hour ceasefire, fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) appears to have continued.
The battle arose from a 2021 military coup, which has since seen the parliamentary forces and army go head-to-head in a battle for power.
2,122 British passport holders, including NHS staff, have now been removed from the country across 23 different flights.
Sudan’s Ministry of Health say that 528 lives have been lost in the conflict so far, with thousands of others injured. However, it’s suggested the figure could actually be far higher.
