Sudan Airstrike Destroys Food Aid for South Kordofan Families
The World Food Programme (WFP) has strongly condemned an aerial attack on aid trucks conveying a large food supply destined for hungry families in South Kordofan State.
“Attacks on aid workers and humanitarian operations are unacceptable and must stop,” WFP said in a statement, urging all sides to uphold international humanitarian law.
WFP said the attack was the latest example of the complex operating environment facing it and other humanitarian agencies in Sudan. The trucks carried 50 metric tons of food, including cereals, yellow split peas, vegetable oil, and salt – enough to provide life-saving assistance to 5,800 people for one month, the UN agency said.
