FOREIGN Secretary James Cleverly has warned that UK help for Britons stuck in Sudan will remain “severely limited” until a ceasefire is reached.
British diplomats and their families had been evacuated from Sudan in a “complex and rapid” operation.
However, some Britons still in the country said they feel abandoned by the UK government.
Violence in Sudan between two opposing forces has seen deadly shooting and shelling in the capital, Khartoum.
Mr Cleverly said there were “specific threats and violence directed towards diplomats” which led to the decision to evacuate staff.
He said the UK government remained “absolutely committed to supporting” Britons in Sudan but added that without an end to the fighting, ministers were “severely limited in our ability to provide assistance to British nationals”.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also said work was continuing to ensure the safety of British nationals who remain in the country.
The power struggle that erupted last week between Sudan’s regular army and a paramilitary force called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has also affected other parts of the country, leading to a growing humanitarian crisis.
Electricity is scarce and food and water supplies are running out for many.
