Evacuations from Sudan at war, the Royal Saudi Navy saves thousands of lives!

Hasan Faraj a Pakistani extra stranded in Sudan was caught off guard by the country's civil war.

The Pakistani national had recently surrendered his passport to a government office, complicating any attempt to leave, and his small supply of food and other supplies meant he could not wait for the fighting at home to end.

His solution finally came early Sunday morning, when, after days of wandering through multiple Pakistani consulates, Faraj joined 51 other evacuees on a Saudi warship bound for Jeddah.

" I feel very privileged ," the 48-year-old told AFP, recounting the " very scary " days amid constant gunfire and aerial bombardment.

At the same time, he said he was worried about the many millions of Sudanese who have little hope of escaping the ongoing fighting between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Force ( RSF).

According to the health ministry, the war has so far killed 528 people and injured about 4,600, but these figures are likely to be incomplete.

"My friends, I am very worried about them, especially in Khartoum," he said.

Sunday's operation was carried out by the Saudi navy, which for more than a week has sent its fleet to Sudan to help evacuate thousands of civilians from around the world.

On board was Badriah al-Sayed, one of the few Sudanese nationals to have been evacuated, helped by her husband's home country of Oman.

In early April, the couple and their son had traveled to Sudan hoping to spend Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr with Sayed's relatives, but found themselves in the middle of the war.

"Usually during Eid they distribute sweets, but this Eid they distributed bullets", she said./ TopNews
