The DFA assured the public, however, that there have been no Filipinos killed or injured because of the conflict in Sudan and the embassy has already evacuated a total of 496 Filipinos from Khartoum, the center of the conflict, as of Friday.
Dozens of Filipinos joined the evacuation missions provided by Saudi Arabia and Greece and the Philippine Embassies in both countries are already attending to their repatriation, De Vega said. De Vega said the exodus from the war zone has affected the processing of evacuees’ papers and now takes days compared to the usual wait of several hours.
According to Agence France-Presse , Sudanese fighter jets pounded paramilitary positions in Khartoum while deadly fighting and looting flared in Darfur.
