Sudan: UK government to begin evacuating British people
Many British nationals have spent days indoors with food and drink running low and no electricity or wifi.
This is the fourth suspension of fighting since violence erupted in Sudan this month, but other attempts did not hold. Sir Nicholas Kay, a former UK ambassador to Sudan, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the situation in Khartoum was precarious and the security situation could change rapidly because there was no trust between the two sides in the conflict.
She urged British citizens to "stay tight, stay safe, but prepare yourself to be able to move", adding: "We don't need a rush at the airport."Asked on BBC Breakfast what help there was for others in Sudan, Ms Kearns said the government could not evacuate people who were not British nationals.
