More than 100 Australians and their families remain trapped in homes in Sudan, with little access to food, water and medical supplies.
But 112 remain trapped in the country, with many unable to access evacuation routes.
The 28-year-old was forced to say goodbye to his grandmother in the northeast African nation, where a bloody conflict between the army and a paramilitary group is rapidly descending the country into civil war.
Mr Semra says the family is hoping to provide a visa for the baby after the birth so the family can travel to Australia. In the meantime, they fear she won't have adequate medical support when the time comes. "People are trapped in their houses. The ceasefire is barely holding, there's reports of gunfire and reports of looting. And with the situation in Sudan only getting worse, it's very devastating, very concerning."He said many Australians have been forced to abandon immediate family members, with the Sudanese community in Australia calling on the government to provide humanitarian visas to immediate family members."And there's that sense of guilt.
DFAT had been asking Australians registered in the country to make their way to Wadi Sayyidna airfield outside Khartoum, but is now advising them to travel to Port Sudan, where ferries have been travelling across the Rea Sea to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia where DFAT officials are on the ground.
