The UN agency strongly condemned the attack which occurred on 30 August outside the city of Dilling.<\/p>\n

The trucks carried 50 metric tonnes of WFP food including cereals, yellow split peas, vegetable oil and salt\u2014enough to provide lifesaving assistance to 5,800 people for one month.<\/p>\n

They were heading to Kadugli, where WFP is supporting nearly 58,000 people facing emergency levels of food insecurity or worse, and were clearly marked with its banners and flags.<\/p>\n

End \u2018unacceptable\u2019 attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WFP said the attack was the latest example of the complex operating environment facing it and other humanitarian agencies in Sudan.<\/p>\n

The UN has repeatedly called for an end to the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and former allies the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) which erupted in April 2023.<\/p>\n

As a result of the conflict, some 30 million people required humanitarian assistance last year.<\/p>\n

Since January, WFP has recorded eight aerial attacks that have damaged its premises and disrupted operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttacks on aid workers and humanitarian operations are unacceptable and must stop,\u201d WFP said, urging all sides to uphold international humanitarian law by protecting civilians, aid workers and humanitarian assets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
