QUESTION

Mr Alex Yam Ziming: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs in view of the situation in Sudan (a) whether there are any Singaporeans known to be in Sudan; and (b) what is being done to provide them with assistance to evacuate from the outbreak of civil war in the country.

There are currently no MFA-registered Singaporeans in Sudan. As conveyed in MFA Spokesperson’s Comments of 27 April 2023, two Singaporean families, comprising 14 Singaporeans and a family member, were safely evacuated from Khartoum, Sudan to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia with assistance from the governments of Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

2 The Singapore Government reiterates its deepest appreciation to the three governments for facilitating the safe evacuation of our citizens.
