Philippine repatriates from Sudan arrive, more expected

Fifteen Filipinos, including a nurse who had been working in Sudan for 12 years, arrived in Manila on Monday as part of the third batch of evacuees from conflict-ridden Sudan.

The DFA reported that at least 616 Filipinos have already been evacuated out of Khartoum, with more expected to return over the next few days.

Earlier this month, the first batch of 17 Filipino evacuees arrived in Manila after being rescued by Greek and Saudi Arabian authorities.

DSWD is ready to assist returning OFWs from Sudan, with social workers at NAIA Terminal 3 waiting for their arrival.
