just ordinary passenger ferries which have been coming over here to jeddah.dis are making a big show of their humanitarian effort here. they're very keen to show that they are very invested in the humanitarian operation in sudan. and for those leaving, they are given a 30 day visa on arrival here in saudi arabia. but most countries when we came back, for instance, just this morning from a long trip across the sea, across the red sea to port sudan, when we came back with about 50 people, a range of nationalities, fundamentally, the battle we're seeing going on right now is arab against arab. and different clans, different regions. the danger is that elsewhere across sudan, the legacy of a long war against the south, the civil war there means that there are all sorts of simmering ethnic disputes. and the concern is that as communities try to protect themselves, we're already seeing signs in darfur that old conflict, simmering conflicts are being reignited as communities turn on each other and militias turn against other communities. these are some of the latest

so many sudanese also poring over the borders, we saw those pictures from jeddah a short while ago withlatest on this story that is dominating through the course of the last few days, the situation in sudan. we are going to take a break and then round up some of the other stories around the world making headlines. you're watching bbc news. hey, my name is cara and i'm eight years old. i'm eamon campbelland i'm here at great 0rmond street hospital as my daughter is today having her infusion of blood plasma. in my hand is a cannula and i have to come every four weeks for it, but every time i have it, i get more and more used to it. two years ago, we started noticing that she was having difficulty walking even from the car park to school, then she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition. from there, we realised she needed blood plasma. a year down the line of having these treatments, these infusions from the blood plasma, she is now like a normal eight—year—old. it feels really nice that sometimes some little boys or girls can get help by my dad or some other people when they give p

already seen the first rescue operations in which more than 150 foreign nationals have arrived in jeddahstatement released by the foreign ministry giving us some details. they said that about 90 of these nationals were saudi citizens while others were saudi citizens while others were from countries as diverse as pakistan, canada and the united arab error mitts. we are expecting more evacuations. there will be willing to coordinate and facilitate for foreign nationals to be evacuated but the intensification of the fighting right now, that could be very difficult. but we are hearing more and more efforts, plans to evacuate nationals as soon as possible. since the main international airport in khartoum has been in the middle of the fighting, in the middle of this violence, carrying out civilians, foreign nationals by air has not been possible. driving out these foreign nationals from khartoum to the port of sudan and transferring them to saudi arabia. any evacuation plan could take similar roots and on sunday, we are expecting more developments in this regard with the us, the uk and turkey

egypt and others making a 12 hourjourney to port sudan where they can travel by sea to our towards jeddaharabia. how easy is it as a journalist covering this story from kenya to know with certainty what is happening inside sudan? it is not very easy because for a lot of the time there is been disconnection because there is a lack of power and wi—fi, so it's difficult to get information out, but thankfully we have people there that we know, some are our friends who were considered to have been giving us information. we have bbcjournalists in the time that they are able to be safe can send us information there. we largely depend on statements from organisations like the other nations and also humanitarian organisations which are there that keep on giving information from time to time. sudan by nature before the crisis is a country that did not really support press freedom as much so it is a lot of extra effort and constantly looking at social media to get updates, making phone calls, sending whatsapp misters to get accurate information. it’s sending whatsapp misters to get accurate informat
