On Tuesday, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the evacuation of 635 Egyptian citizens from Sudan upping the total to 1,539, as 189 were flown back, while 446 crossed urban borders.
Coordination is underway to evacuate a number of Egyptian families on flights that would take off from an airport located near the capital, Khartoum, once the security conditions improve.
This comes within the framework of the efforts of the state to implement the evacuation plan for Egyptians from Sudan, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid.
In a press statement, the ministry said that the would-be evacuees have been instructed to head for meeting points to begin their trip back home.
It added that Egypt's Embassy in Khartoum, consulates in both Khartoum and Port Sudan and the consular office in Wadi Halfa in northern Sudan are coordinating with the citizens to secure their safe repatriation.
