Aid Reaches Sudan’s Kordofan as Over 30 Countries Alarmed by Drone Attacks

United Nations aid trucks have reached an area in Sudan that has been cut off from relief efforts amid warnings that deadly drone strikes are making the hunger crisis in that part of the country worse. 
  
The UN said on Wednesday that its aid trucks had reached Dilling and Kadugli, in central Sudan’s Kordofan region, with “life-saving” humanitarian supplies. 
   
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 “willfully impeding” relief supplies, “may amount to war crimes”. 
  
The statement was issued after 28 people were killed and dozens more injured when drone-fired missiles hit the al-Safiya market in the town of Sodari in North Kordofan state on Sunday, according to monitoring group Emergency Lawyers.
