France has evacuated more people from Sudan, the French foreign ministry said on Thursday.

It said that those evacuated included not only French nationals but also Britons, Americans, Canadians, Ethiopians, Dutch, Italians and Swedes.

The French government added it had so far evacuated a total of 936 people from Sudan.

The conflict between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has triggered a rush to extract foreign diplomats and citizens.

Several countries have evacuated nationals by air, while some have gone via Port Sudan on the Red Sea, about 800 km by road from Khartoum.
