Three more Cypriot citizens and seven people of Cypriot origin were evacuated from Sudan and arrived to safety in Cyprus in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
This brings the total number of evacuated Cypriots up to 11 out of the 23 who had originally found themselves stranded.
The evacuees arrived at Larnaca airport on a Royal Air Force flight, in the wake of an earlier midnight flight carrying 261 British nationals in transit to the UK.
More flights are anticipated on Wednesday in an effort to make the most of the ceasefire, involving nationals of various countries, foreign ministry spokesman, Theodoros Gotsis, told state broadcaster CyBC.
The first flight with evacuees arrived from Sudan to Larnaca on Tuesday evening, under the management of Estia, a newly assembled crisis repatriation plan created through a UK initiative.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Constantinos Kombos, expressed his thanks to his British counterpart, James Cleverly, for the coordinated effort.
