Sudan: first aid convoy reaches besieged Khartoum area since start of civil war

Deliveries of vital food and medical supplies will help 200,000 families, say aid groups and local volunteers

An aid convoy has reached a besieged area of Khartoum for the first time since Sudan’s civil war broke out in April 2023, bringing food and medicines in a country where half of the people are at risk of starvation.

The 28 trucks arrived in southern Khartoum on 25 December, according to the World Food Programme (WFP), which provided 22 trucks loaded with 750 tonnes of food.
