Be prepared but don't rush to airport, says foreign affairs select committee chair

Now more on the morning's announcement that the UK will start airlifting its citizens out of Sudan.

According to Alicia Kearns, chair of the foreign affairs committee, there are between 3,000 and 4,000 British citizens living there.

The Conservative MP said previously that they don't know if everyone wants to leave Sudan, but they are working to get everyone who wants to go out of the country.

She explains, "We can't be confident the ceasefire will last," as to why.

"The Foreign Office is contacting each and every registered British citizen. Stay inside since the outside is still dangerous. Prepare for the voyage by gathering your belongings. Make sure you have as much signal as you can.

You don't have to get to the airport right now. You need to travel safely to the airport, and the Foreign Office needs to make sure of that.

She remarked that it is a "enormous relief" that the ceasefire is holding true according to the information.
