Sudan airstrike targets aid convoy in Kordofan
A driver was killed and a humanitarian aid convoy was damaged in South Kordofan, Sudan, as a result of an airstrike targeting two World Food Programme trucks carrying food supplies intended for civilians between Dilling and Kadugli. The attack occurred in the early hours of October 3rd, causing the death of one driver, with ongoing efforts to assess the extent of the damage and the circumstances of the attack. The program strongly condemned the attack and called for an independent investigation to identify those responsible, emphasizing the need to protect humanitarian personnel and facilities and to ensure aid delivery remains safe. This comes amid increasing security and economic challenges in the region, as Sudan's ongoing war and worsening humanitarian situation persist, with over 19 million Sudanese facing food insecurity and approximately 825,000 children at risk of severe malnutrition.
