A WFP driver was killed in an airstrike targeting an aid convoy in Sudan. The attack occurred in South Kordofan, where the World Food Programme had been delivering food assistance. The convoy was hit by aerial bombardment, resulting in the driver’s death.
The incident follows a similar attack just days earlier, in which a WFP truck struck an explosive device in Dilling, South Kordofan. That strike had already disrupted food deliveries to a region suffering from severe shortages. The latest airstrike has raised concerns about the safety of humanitarian operations in the area.
The conflict in Sudan has intensified, with reports of increasing violence in regions where aid is most needed. The WFP has been operating in South Kordofan to provide emergency food supplies to displaced populations. The airstrike marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict, complicating efforts to reach those in need.
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan has worsened in recent months, with millions facing food insecurity and limited access to basic services. The attacks on aid convoys have further strained the situation, undermining efforts to deliver critical support. The WFP continues to operate in the region, despite the growing risks.
