In a tragic incident, five aid workers were killed in an attack on a humanitarian convoy in North Darfur, Sudan, disrupting vital food supplies for families facing starvation. The convoy was ambushed near the town of Koma while making one of the first attempts to reach el-Fasher, a besieged city. UNICEF and the World Food Programme condemned this violence as a breach of international humanitarian law, calling for a thorough investigation. While the Rapid Support Forces and Sudan's military blamed each other for the incident, it underscores the growing famine crisis in the region and its effect on vulnerable populations.
The convoy, which was attacked while trying to reach el-Fasher, was the first UN humanitarian delivery to the area in over a year, impacting vulnerable families.
UNICEF and WFP stated that five aid workers were killed, several injured, and critical humanitarian supplies damaged due to the convoy's attack in North Darfur.
