"The World Food Programme (WFP) transported more than 700 metric tons of food commodities to support nearly 70,000 people, including 21,000 mothers and children with specialized nutritious food to prevent malnutrition, the UN said in a statement. Dilling and the nearby city of Kadugli have been largely cut off from aid for more than two years, leaving communities with severe shortages of humanitarian assistance, the UN said."
"The aid delivery came as more than 30 countries issued a statement on Wednesday expressing grave concern at a recent severe escalation in drone attacks amid heavy fighting in the Darfur and Kordofan regions. The 28 European Union countries, plus Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, warned that intentional attacks against aid workers and wilfully impeding relief supplies, may amount to war crimes."
