Attack on aid convoy in Sudan's Darfur region kills 5: UN

An attack on an aid convoy in Sudan’s Darfur region left five people dead, the United Nations said Tuesday, and the warring parties in the northeast African nation traded blame for the attack.

The attack on the 15-truck convoy came Monday night near the Rapid Support Forces-controlled town of Koma in North Darfur province. It was trying to reach Al-Fashir city, according to a joint statement from the World Food Program and UNICEF. Both agencies called for an investigation into the attack.

Sudan was plunged into a war more than two years ago, when tensions between Sudan’s army and its rival paramilitary RSF exploded with street battles in the capital of Khartoum that quickly spread across the country.

Monday night’s attack, in which many trucks were burned and aid was damaged, also wounded members of the convoy, the statement said. It didn’t say who was responsible for the attack.

“It is devastating that the supplies have not reached the vulnerable children and families they were intended to,” the statement said.

The WFP and UNICEF said they were negotiating to complete the trip to Al-Fashir, which is besieged by RSF, after traveling more than 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) from the eastern city of Port Sudan on the Red Sea, which serves as an interim seat for the country’s military-allied government.

The RSF said in a statement the convoy was hit by a military aircraft in a “pre-planned attack.” Footage shared by the RSF showed burned vehicles carrying what appeared to be flour bags.

The military-led government, however, rejected the accusation and said in a statement that aid trucks were “treacherously attacked by assault drones operated by the rebel Rapid Support Forces militia.”

The Resistance Committees in Al-Fashir tracked the fighting in and around the city and blamed the paramilitaries for the attack, saying the RSF statement aimed to “mislead public opinion and evade accountability.”

Al-Fashir, more than 800 kilometers (500 miles) southwest of Khartoum, is one of the last strongholds of the Sudanese military in Darfur. The region has been under RSF siege since May 2024.

Monday’s attack was the latest on aid operations in the past two years. Last week, WFP’s premises in Al-Fashir were bombed, damaging a workshop, office building and clinic, according to the statement.

The war has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. It has driven about 13 million people from their homes, including over 4 million who crossed into neighbouring countries. Parts of Sudan have been pushed into famine.

The fighting has been marked by atrocities including mass rape and ethnically motivated killings that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, especially in Darfur, according to the U.N. and international rights groups.
