The UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and Canada were among those to evacuate their citizens.

The death toll in Sudan has now passed 420, including 264 civilians, and more than 3,700 have been wounded, according to local and international NGOs. However, most analysts believe the true total of fatalities and injuries after more than nine days of fighting is much higher.
