“No more Filipinos suffering at the border under such difficult conditions. They are in Egypt na and will be bringing home our kababayans in the next few days,” DFA Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega said on Wednesday.
There are no more Filipinos on Egypt's main border with Sudan, where they are fleeing from violence and clashes, the Department of Foreign Affairs has said.
Some of them have been stranded for at least three days at the main border of Egypt and Sudan while waiting for the processing of their document travels. Twenty-eight Filipinos who are at the smaller border in Goustal may enter Egypt, while 19 others who are in the Port of Sudan will cross the sea to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Fifty-nine Filipinos arrived in the country on Tuesday and Wednesday, with at least 50 of them students taking Islamic studies at the International University of Africa.
