The International Committee of the Red Cross said the children were evacuated from an orphanage in Khartoum, where they were trapped by ongoing fighting.
Ednews informs via CNN that aid agencies have managed to rescue more than 280 infants, toddlers and older children, along with 70 caregivers from an orphanage that has found itself in the midst of heavy fighting in Sudan's capital, Khartoum.
The evacuation comes after more than 70 children died from hunger and illness in the facility since mid-April.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Thursday that one of its teams had managed to facilitate the evacuation of the Maygoma Orphanage.
"Knowing these children are safe is an enormous relief," Jean-Christophe Sandoz, the head of the ICRC delegation in Sudan, said.
