Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted a UN humanitarian aid convoy in South Kordofan state, killing one person and injuring two others, a local medical group said on Thursday.
In a statement, the Sudan Doctors Network said that the convoy was attacked in the town of Dilling while it was traveling to Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan.
One person was killed and two truck drivers were injured in the attack, the group said.
It said the convoy was carrying life-saving humanitarian assistance for more than 5,000 civilians facing severe shortages of food, medicine and other basic necessities.
The group condemned the attack, describing it as part of what it called a recurring pattern of RSF attacks on international humanitarian aid convoys and obstruction of assistance to civilians.
It said targeting humanitarian aid and obstructing relief operations constitute violations of international humanitarian law.
The group called on the international community, the UN and humanitarian organisations to ensure the safe, sustained and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance to civilians across Sudan.
It also urged pressure on the RSF leadership to halt attacks on humanitarian aid convoys and workers and called for those responsible to be held accountable.
Last week, the UN said that 1,100 civilians were killed in drone attacks across Sudan between January and June this year.
Sudan has been engulfed by fighting between the army and the RSF since April 2023, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced around 13 million, according to UN and international estimates.
