A second US-led convoy has reached the coastal city of Port Sudan as part of an effort to evacuate US citizens from the Sudan conflict.
“A second USG-organized convoy arrived in Port Sudan today. We are assisting U.S. citizens and others who are eligible with onward travel to Jeddah, where additional personnel are ready to assist with consular & emergency services,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Sunday in a statement on Twitter.
But Miller said in his statement Sunday that the US has now “facilitated the departure of nearly 1000 US citizens from Sudan” with cooperation from global allies. “Departure options for U.S. citizens have included seats on partner country flights, partner country and international organization convoys, U.S. government organized convoys, and departure via sea as well,” he added.
