Overview

• Five people were killed and several others injured when a 15-truck convoy of WFP and UNICEF vehicles was attacked near Al Koma on Monday night.
• The convoy had traveled more than 1,120 miles from Port Sudan and was waiting for permission to enter El Fasher when it came under fire.
• The World Food Programme and UNICEF condemned the strike as a violation of international humanitarian law and called for an urgent investigation and accountability.
• El Fasher’s year-long siege by the Rapid Support Forces has severed food and medical supplies, leaving its 2 million residents, including 800,000 displaced people, at risk of famine.
• The conflict has forced over 4 million Sudanese to flee abroad and displaced 11.6 million internally, with more than half the population facing crisis-level hunger.
