Five killed after UN aid trucks attacked en route to el-Fasher

United Nations agencies said that five members of the UN caravan had aid to the war of Sudanese Sudanese, who were killed in an attack.

They added that many people were also injured and multiple trucks in the Monday night attack, which occurred near the Kuma in the northern state of Darfur.

The two sides in the civil war accused Sudan – the semi -military rapid support forces (RSF) and the regular army – each other of the necessity of the UN caravan with drones.

The United Nations did not say how the attack occurred, but called for an urgent investigation and the perpetrators in mind.

The convoy was consisting of 15 trucks of the United Nations food agencies and children, who said it was “devastating” that the aid had not reached the “” Familie “.

El -Fasher is the last major location in North Darfur under the control of the army. Civilians and military personnel there were attacked by RSF for more than a year.

The joint statement of the World Food Program (WFP) and the United Nations Agency for UNICEF said that the convoy was trying to reach children and families in the city through life -saving food supplies and nutrition when it was attacked.

After the attack, the emergency room in Kuma, a group of local volunteer respondents, released a video of a burning truck loaded with bags of supplies on Facebook. The group blamed the attack on the Sudanese army.

The RSF controlled Kuma was the target of repeated attacks in the conflict between the paramilitary group and the army.

The city’s attacks led to civilian death and the main infrastructure was damaged.

The emergency room in Al -Kuma said at least 89 people were killed or wounded after the Sudanese army warplanes fired air strikes in the city on Sunday. The army did not respond to this accusation.

According to the Sudan Tribune News website, the aircraft hit a crowded market in Kuma.

The war, which started more than two years ago, created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

On Tuesday, Eujin byun, a spokesman for the United Nations Refugee Agency, said more than four million people have fled since the beginning of the conflict.

The civil war broke out in 2023 after an evil struggle for power between the army and RSF.

The two had organized a coup to obstruct Sudan’s move to democracy, before their leaders fell.
