The army spokesperson indicated that on Wednesday, three Egyptian transport evacuated the first batch of Egyptian troops, through three successive flights to an Egyptian military base in Cairo. At least 270 people have been killed and over 2,600 injured as the fighting rages for its fifth day, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) which cited Sudan’s Ministry of Health Emergency Operations Center.
