People of all ages, including Greek Orthodox, Sudanese, Ethiopians and a Russian woman with her child, are trapped for the second day inside the building of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis in Hartoum.

As the Metropolitan of Nubia and All Sudan, Mr Savvas, told ERT, there are basic necessities to get through a few days, with the power and water supply cut off, as is the case throughout the country.
