Up to 300 people have arrived in the Jordanian capital of Amman from conflict-ridden Sudan by plane, according to media reports.

The evacuees include German, Iraqi, and Syrian nationals, who landed in Jordan as part of international efforts to evacuate foreigners and diplomats from Sudan.

Four Jordanian planes carried 343 people from Sudan to Amman, the group was also comprised of Palestinian and Jordanian expatriates, the Jordan New Agency (Petra) reported.

Countries around the world are working on evacuation efforts of nationals and diplomats from Sudan as the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Supply Forces (RSF) puts civilians in the line of fire.

Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, France, Britain, and the US have launched similar operations to evacuate their citizens from Sudan which has entered its second week of the conflict.

Western countries have also put their militaries on standby to aid in the evacuation efforts of their citizens.

Italian air force jets are reportedly on standby in Djibouti however it is unclear when an evacuation operation would be conducted: such that it would contingent upon the developments of the course of the conflict, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani noted. 

Similarly, Spanish military transport planes have been stationed in Djibouti to evacuate 50 individuals: which include Spanish citizens, other European citizens, and Latin American citizens.  

On Sunday morning the Swedish Parliament approved the government's decision to send a military detachment to Sudan to evacuate Swedish citizens and diplomats.

US Lieutenant General Douglass Sims said around 100 special operations soldiers conducted the mission on Sunday where they transported using three CH-47 Chinook helicopters US diplomats stranded in the country. The helicopters remained on the ground for less than an hour during the extraction, he added.

A top US official John Bass said some foreign diplomats were included in the American evacuation mission, noting that it is unlikely that Washington will evacuate US citizens in the coming days.

The United Nations is also trying to find ways to pull its employees - some 4,000 employees, including 800 foreigners.
