Following a rescue flight by the Royal Australian Air Force, 46 Australians and their families were evacuated from Sudan over the course of the night.
The news was confirmed by foreign minister Penny Wong.
She tweeted that more than 190 Australians and their families have been able to escape the three-week-old conflict in Sudan.
On the RAAF flight, there were passengers from six other countries as well.
Wong stated, “We are in touch with registered Australians about more departure alternatives from Port Sudan.
Some Australians are still in Sudan, she told the ABC.
The war-torn country’s status, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, is still perilous.
“The security environment is still dangerous, and travel options should be carefully considered.”
On April 15, fighting in Sudan broke out between the army and a rival paramilitary organisation known as the Rapid Support Forces.
Millions of Sudanese have been directly affected by gunfights, artillery bombardments, and airstrikes as a result of their power struggle.
Tens of thousands have left places like Khartoum.
Since the battle started, at least 436 civilians have died and more than 1,200 have been hurt.
