Five members of a United Nations convoy carrying aid to the war-torn Sudanese city of el-Fasher have been killed in an attack, UN agencies have said. The convoy was made up of 15 trucks from the UN's food and children's agencies, who said it was "devastating" that the aid did not reach "famine-stricken" el-Fasher. The group blamed the attack on the Sudanese army. The el-Koma Emergency Room said at least 89 people were killed or injured after Sudanese army warplanes launched airstrikes in the town on Sunday. The civil war broke out in 2023 following a vicious struggle for power between the army and the RSF.
