No casualties among South Sudanese evacuated from Ukraine

A volunteer group of Sudanese nationals coordinating the evacuation of South Sudanese nationals stranded in Ukraine says no casualties have been reported among the South Sudanese nationals in Ukraine, despite crossing under shelling and difficult conditions.

A spokesperson for the group known as the ‘European Committee’ Mohammed Alasbat says a considerable number of South Sudanese who were among the group, have managed to cross into Poland.

The group has extracted 60 people, mostly Sudanese and some South Sudanese to escape the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
