Around 100 Irish citizens remain in the conflict-hit African country while a fragile ceasefire holds.

A total of 88 Irish citizens have been rescued - with the help of other countries - since the situation deteriorated.

Some who've returned have described bombings and shelling in neighbouring buildings while they were in the capital Khartoum.

Concern’s Country Director for Sudan, A.K.M Musha is one of those who managed to flee, and says the journey out was difficult.

'It still is not safe, people are really afraid and the suffering of the people is increasing.'
