British doctor shot in leg as he rescued mother and daughter in Sudan
The Independent says A British doctor trapped in Sudan has been shot in the leg as he “risked his life” to rescue his elderly mother, his daughter has revealed.
The doctor, who retired recently after working in the NHS for over 30 years, was visiting his family in Khartoum for Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr when fierce clashes between the country’s two top generals erupted in the city on 15 April.
His daughter and mother, who requires constant care, had been without water and electricity for five days at his brother’s house close to the airport, when he felt he had to move them to a safer place.
