UN convoy attacked on the way to Sudan's al-Fashir, UNICEF says
A UN convoy delivering food into Sudan's al-Fashir in North Darfur came under attack overnight, a spokesperson for the UN children's agency told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that initial reports indicated 'multiple casualties.'
'We have received information about a convoy with WFP and UNICEF trucks being attacked last night while positioned in Al Koma, North Darfur, waiting for approval to proceed to al-Fashir,' a UNICEF spokesperson said in response to questions.
She did not say who was responsible.
Famine conditions have previously been reported in al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur, as two years of war has cut off supplies.

Gaza's humanitarian crisis ‘is destruction of a society': UNICEF spokesperson
UNICEF spokesperson James Elder described the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza as 'destruction of a society, brick by brick, child by child,' as he issued a stark warning about the widespread hunger and desperation among the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, especially children. Speaking to Al Arabiya English's Tom Burges Watson from Khan Younis, Elder highlighted the grim scenario across Gaza, saying the lack of food, water and medical aid is not a natural tragedy but a man-made one. The situation, he emphasized, is particularly critical for children who – according to Elder –are more likely to die from illness as hospitals remain overwhelmed and access to basic nutrition has collapsed as Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid continues. 'Once famine is declared, it means deaths have already begun,' he said. Despite some aid being distributed recently by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), Elder described the group as militarized and unqualified, calling its operation chaotic and dangerous. Limited aid has been allowed into Gaza at just a few militarized sites. Dozens of Palestinians were killed when Israeli soldiers shot what they claimed to be 'warning shots' at those desperately seeking aid. 'You don't ask a mother to leave her children and walk 15 kilometres to a militarized zone. That's not humanitarian aid,' Elder said. 'Facts matter' Elder also rejected claims by Israeli officials refuting the reports of famine and mass hunger in the Gaza Strip, pointing to data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) – a globally recognized authority. According to their findings, the entire Gaza Strip is food insecure and facing catastrophic conditions. The UNICEF spokesperson also dismissed allegations of aid diversion by Hamas, saying there is no credible evidence to support those claims. 'Facts matter,' he said. 'There has been no proof, and that narrative is used to justify blocking real aid.' UNICEF and other UN agencies, Elder stressed, have the experience and infrastructure to deliver aid at scale, if permitted to do so. 'Everything the people of Gaza need is sitting in trucks at the border. This is not about access, it is about permission,' he said. 'If starvation is being used deliberately, it amounts to a war crime.'

US, UN, UAE urge Sudan to respect humanitarian law after aid workers killed
The United States, United Arab Emirates and other key players on Wednesday urged Sudan's warring sides to respect humanitarian law after five aid workers were killed in besieged al-Fasher. A joint statement — also including the United Nations, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the African Union and Switzerland — said the group 'urgently reiterates that international humanitarian law must be fully respected.' 'Attacks directed against civilians and civilian objects, including humanitarian personnel and assets, are serious violations of international humanitarian law,' said the statement issued by the US State Department. UN Secretary-General António Guterres had on Tuesday urged a probe into the attack on the convoy organized by the World Food Programme and UNICEF. The UN agencies did not specify who was behind the assault, which took place in an area controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been at war with the regular army since April 2023. More than four million people have died in the war.

Sudan's former premier Hamdok says recent military gains won't end the war
MARRAKECH: Sudan's former prime minister on Wednesday dismissed the military's moves to form a new government as 'fake,' saying its recent victories in recapturing the capital Khartoum and other territory will not end the country's two-year civil war. Abdalla Hamdok said no military victory, in Khartoum or elsewhere, could end the war that has killed tens of thousands and driven millions from their homes. 'Whether Khartoum is captured or not captured, it's irrelevant,' Hamdok said on the sidelines of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation's governance conference in Morocco. 'There is no military solution to this. No side will be able to have outright victory.' Hamdok became Sudan's first civilian prime minister after decades of military rule in 2019, trying to lead a democratic transition. He resigned in January 2022 after a turbulent stretch in which he was ousted in a coup and briefly reinstated amid international pressure. The following year, warring generals plunged the country into civil war. Sudan today bears the grim distinction of being home to some of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has left at least 24,000 dead, though many believe the true toll is far worse. Both sides stand accused of war crimes. The RSF, with roots in Darfur's notorious Janjaweed militia, has been accused of carrying out genocide. The army is accused of unleashing chemical weapons and targeting civilians where they live. The war has driven about 13 million people from their homes, including 4 million who have crossed into neighboring countries. Famine is setting in and cholera is sweeping through. The military recaptured the Khartoum area from the RSF in March, as well as some surrounding territory. Army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan has framed the advances as a major turning point in the conflict. Last month, he appointed a new prime minister, Kamil Al-Taib Idris, for the first time since the war began, tasked with forming a new government. But the fighting has continued. The RSF has regrouped in its stronghold in Darfur and made advances elsewhere, including in Kordofan. Hamdok, a 69-year-old former economist who now leads a civilian coalition from exile, called the idea that the conflict was drawing down 'total nonsense.' The idea that reconstruction can begin in Khartoum while fighting rages elsewhere is 'absolutely ridiculous,' he said. 'Any attempt at creating a government in Sudan today is fake. It is irrelevant,' he said, arguing that lasting peace can't be secured without addressing the root causes of the war. Hamdok said a ceasefire and a credible process to restore democratic, civilian rule would need to confront Sudan's deep inequalities, including uneven development, issues among different identity groups and questions about the role of religion in government. 'Trusting the soldiers to bring democracy is a false pretense,' he added. Though rooted in longstanding divisions, the war has been supercharged by foreign powers accused of arming both sides. Pro-democracy groups, including Hamdok's Somoud coalition, have condemned atrocities committed by both the army and the RSF. 'What we would like to see is anybody who is supplying arms to any side to stop,' he said.
