Food aid workers reported killed
From Times Wire Reports
Three men delivering food aid in Sudan for the United Nations have been killed, the World Food Program said. The attack came about two weeks after the WFP said banditry was reducing by half the amount of food normally transported to the western region of Darfur at this time of year.
“By attacking humanitarian staff, these assailants are also hurting innocent people who need food assistance,” representative Kenro Oshidari said.
The agency said 56 trucks had been involved in hijackings this year in Sudan.
