An attack on a humanitarian convoy of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the Sudanese capital has killed two people and injured seven, says the group, Paralel.Az reports citing Al Jazeera.

The wounded included three ICRC staff members, the Red Cross added in a statement on Sunday.

“The humanitarian convoy, consisting of three ICRC vehicles and three buses, all clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem, was due to evacuate over a hundred vulnerable civilians from Khartoum to Wad Madani when it came under attack upon entering the evacuation area,” the statement read.

The ICRC said it was shocked and appalled by the attack, which it described as deliberate.
