First Aid Convoy Reaches Khartoum Since Start of Sudan's Civil War

The delivery of food and medical supplies marks a breakthrough in a conflict that has left millions facing famine and displacement.

A convoy of 28 trucks carrying food and medical supplies has reached Khartoum for the first time since Sudan's civil war began in April 2023.
The United Nations and Sudanese community groups negotiated for six months with the warring factions to facilitate the aid delivery.
Sudan is experiencing the world's worst hunger crisis, with nearly half of its population—about 24.6 million people—in urgent need of food aid.
The convoy delivered 750 tons of food, medical supplies, and malnutrition kits to health facilities, with food distribution for 78,000 people set to begin on December 29.
Despite this breakthrough, humanitarian organizations warn that Sudan's needs far exceed the aid provided, as famine spreads and fighting continues to block access to critical areas.
