Sudan violence claims lives of aid workers and halts humanitarian operations.

The United Nations' World Food Program has suspended operations in Sudan after three aid workers were killed during violent clashes between the country's army and a powerful paramilitary group. At least 61 civilians have been killed and hundreds of others wounded over the past 48 hours. The UN has called for an immediate end to hostilities and condemned the slaying of aid workers, stating that international aid workers are "not a target." The US Embassy in Sudan has issued a shelter-in-place notice for staff in the capital of Khartoum.
