An ambush on a United Nations food aid convoy in Sudan has killed at least five people, blocking urgently needed supplies from reaching civilians facing starvation.
The area had witnessed a drone attack earlier in the week that killed civilians, according to local activists and heightened the risks for aid convoys.
The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) called for an urgent investigation, describing the incident as a violation of international humanitarian law.
Both sides blamed each other for the attack, creating further uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of humanitarian efforts in the region.
