It's thought a doctor from Birmingham who was stranded in Sudan with her three children has managed to get out of the country.

Her colleagues at City Hospital started a petition asking the government to help Dr Lina Badr and her family get home from Khartoum.

The RAF has started evacuation flights for British Citizens who are trying to escape the fighting there - which began on the 15th of April.

But a spokesperson for City Hospital says they've been told Dr Badr has made her own way to Egypt with her children.

Speaking to our reporter Megan Jones, her colleague Dr Felicia Buriana has confirmed Dr Lina is now safely in Egypt.
