part of the country worse.<\/p>\n<p>The UN said on Wednesday that its aid trucks had reached Dilling and Kadugli, in central Sudan\u2019s Kordofan region, with \u201clife-saving\u201d humanitarian supplies.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 4 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>The World Food Programme (WFP) \u201ctransported more than 700 metric tons of food commodities to support nearly 70,000 people, including 21,000 mothers and children with specialized nutritious food to prevent malnutrition,\u201d the UN said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDilling and the nearby city of Kadugli have been largely cut off from aid for more than two years, leaving communities with severe shortages of humanitarian assistance,\u201d the UN said.<\/p>\n<p>The aid delivery came as more than 30 countries issued a statement on Wednesday expressing \u201cgrave concern\u201d at a recent \u201csevere escalation\u201d in drone attacks amid \u201cheavy fighting\u201d in the Darfur and Kordofan regions.<\/p>\n<p>The 28 European Union countries, plus Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, warned that \u201cintentional attacks\u201d against aid workers and \u201cwilfully impeding\u201d relief supplies, \u201cmay amount to war crimes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>UN human rights chief Volker Turk also issued a statement on Wednesday expressing alarm at the increase in drone attacks in the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese latest killings are yet another reminder of the devastating consequences on civilians of the escalating use of drone warfare in Sudan,\u201d Turk said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey also perpetuate a pattern that we have seen time and again in this conflict of attacks on civilian objects and infrastructure, including markets, health facilities and schools,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Turk said that at least 57 civilians had been killed in separate drone attacks on Sunday and Monday in four states across Sudan, including the attack on the market in Sodari, which he said was allegedly carried out by Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed to recent attacks attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on two primary schools and a hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The heavy fighting in the Kordofan region comes as the Sudanese army and the RSF fight over the country\u2019s vital east-west axis, which links the western RSF-held Darfur region, through el-Obeid, to the army-controlled capital, Khartoum, and the rest of Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>After consolidating its hold on Darfur last year, the RSF has pushed east through the oil and gold-rich Kordofan region in an attempt to seize Sudan\u2019s central corridor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food trucks arrive in area that has been
