C-27 aircraft picking up Greeks evacuated from Sudan at Djibouti
A C-27 transport plane of the Hellenic Air Force lifted off the airport of Aswan, Egypt for Djibouti on Tuesday to pick up Greeks evacuated from Sudan.
The aircraft is the second one this day to transport Greeks from Sudan, where internal fighting continues for the second week. A ceasefire allowed the evacuation.
Earlier in the day, another C-27 brought 17 individuals to Greece, as evacuation efforts for Greeks continue under the coordination of the Greek Foreign Ministry.
According to diplomatic sources, 43 citizens of Greek interest have been rescued from Khartoum up until now, not including the 17 arriving who arrived in Greece on Tuesday morning and another 7 arriving in Egypt by car during the day. Two evacuees are injured, one of them seriously.
