The evacuation of the Greek citizens trapped in the conflict zone in Sudan, with two among them injured, is currently not possible, diplomatic sources said today as fights entered the fifth day.
According to the same sources, the Greek Foreign Ministry is in constant communication with the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) to provide the best possible medical assistance to the two injured Greek citizens. The IFRC is also informed of the presence and needs of the other Greek citizens in Khartoum, the capital of the North African country, besides the two injured individuals.
Meanwhile, the ministry is coordinating with other EU member states on medical aid and a possible rescue operation when conditions permit.
Currently, there are more than 1,000 European citizens and approximately 150 Greeks in Sudan, as reported by Andreas Katsaniotis, the deputy foreign minister responsible for Greek diaspora issues.
