Five aid workers have been killed and several others wounded following an attack on a humanitarian convoy en route to the besieged city of El-Fasher in western Sudan. The United Nations confirmed the incident on Tuesday.
The convoy, organized by the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, came under attack on Monday near Al-Koma village in North Darfur state. In a joint statement, the UN agencies reported that “multiple trucks were burned and critical humanitarian supplies were damaged.”
