A World Food Programme (WFP) aid convoy was attacked in Sudan's Darfur region, specifically in North Darfur near the town of Mellit. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which control Mellit, accused Sudan's army of carrying out an airstrike on the convoy. However, the Sudanese army has denied involvement in the bombing. The attack occurred amid ongoing conflict in the famine-affected area. Separately, the WFP announced it is reducing aid to Venezuela by half due to funding shortages.
