The Red Cross has announced that two people have been killed and seven others injured in a “deliberate attack” on an aid convoy in Sudan’s capital Khartoum.

The vehicles – which the charity said were “clearly marked with a Red Cross emblem” – were due to evacuate over a hundred civilians.

The International Committee for the Red Cross said the wounded included three charity staff.
Sudan’s civil war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces is now in its eight month.
