UK help for Britons stuck in Sudan 'severely limited'
Mr Sunak and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi agreed on Sunday that the UK and Egypt would work with international partners on diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire.
Asked about criticisms that the UK had not acted quickly enough to evacuate British diplomats and their families, Mr Ellwood said more than 1,000 military personnel had been mobilised at very short notice. He described the situation as a "nightmare for those of us left behind", and said he knew of many people from other countries like Hungary and South Africa whose embassies are making plans to evacuate nationals.Another UK citizen in Sudan, William, described a chaotic situation as he opted to leave the capital Khartoum on a bus, organised by his Sudanese employer to take him and other nationals to Egypt.
William described waiting to be collected by the bus as a "dicey situation" with "gunfire going off all the time".
