Sudanese fleeing the fighting between rival generals in their capital Khartoum have flooded into an already overwhelmed city on the Red Sea and to the northern border with Egypt.

Many exhausted Sudanese and foreigners arrived in Port Sudan, the country’s main seaport, joining thousands who have waited for days to be evacuated out of the chaos-stricken nation.
