Khartoum, February 7 (Xinhua) — A drone attacked a World Food Programme (WFP) convoy in Sudan's North Kordofan state. UN Resident Coordinator in Sudan Denise Brown expressed deep concern over the attack.
According to her, the trucks were traveling from the city of Kosti. They were fired upon while delivering vital food aid to displaced families in the El Obeid area. As a result, at least one person was killed and several were injured.
D. Brown added that the trucks caught fire and the vital food supplies were destroyed. She recalled that earlier this week, a similar incident occurred near a WFP facility in the town of Yabus in Blue Nile State. One WFP employee was injured.
The United Nations has repeatedly reported that UN and other international convoys in Sudan are being targeted by airstrikes. Meanwhile, significant parts of the Darfur and Kordofan regions continue to experience severe food shortages.
Since mid-April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Forces (RIF). The fighting has claimed tens of thousands of lives and led to the displacement of several million people both within Sudan and abroad.
