Deliberate Attack on Red Cross Convoy in Sudan Results in Casualties

Two dead and seven injured as humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians is targeted amid ongoing civil war.

Two people were killed and seven others, including three Red Cross staff, were injured in a deliberate attack on a Red Cross convoy in Sudan's capital, Khartoum.
The convoy, clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem, was evacuating over a hundred vulnerable civilians from Khartoum to Wad Madani.
The humanitarian operation had been requested by and coordinated with both the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who had given security guarantees.
Both the army and the RSF have accused each other of attacking the convoy.
Sudan's civil war between the army and the RSF is now in its eighth month, with more than six million people displaced by the war.
