An aerial attack in South Kordofan on October 3, 2026, struck two contracted trucks carrying WFP food commodities, killing one driver. Separately, the Government of Italy contributed €3.5 million to the WHO to bolster health emergency response and public health services across 15 states in Sudan.

The attack on humanitarian aid trucks highlights significant security risks for aid workers and the challenges in delivering essential supplies. Funding for humanitarian operations remains well below requirements.

The incident in South Kordofan directly impacted humanitarian aid delivery, potentially disrupting food assistance. Sudan continues to be a source of refugees, with 6,309 individuals from Sudan registered as asylum seekers in Uganda since the beginning of the year.

The specific impact of the aid convoy attack on food security for affected populations is not yet detailed.
