The United States condemns the recent aerial attack on a World Food Program convoy in South Kordofan transporting urgently needed food that killed one aid worker. This deadly incident is the 9th aerial attack on WFP operations in Sudan this year alone. It is part of a clear and dangerous pattern. Attacks on humanitarian actors must stop. Civilians at risk of famine need unhindered humanitarian access NOW.
WFP strongly condemns an aerial attack that hit two contracted trucks carrying WFP food commodities in South Kordofan on Saturday, 3 October 2026.
One driver was killed in the air strike. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
