Aid agencies in Sudan plead with factions to allow supplies to reach needy

Six trucks of humanitarian supplies looted while air strikes in Khartoum undermine ceasefire

Aid agencies are pleading with battling factions in Sudan to allow humanitarian assistance to reach the needy, after six trucks of humanitarian supplies were looted and air strikes in Khartoum undermined a new ceasefire.

Martin Griffiths, the UN’s Emergency Relief Coordinator, said on Wednesday he was seeking assurances that would allow for movement of staff and supplies.
