CAIRO (Reuters) -The warring parties in Sudan's civil war have traded blame for an attack on a U.N. World Food Programme convoy trying to bring aid to an area of North Darfur where fighting and blockades have led to deadly hunger.

The convoy was hit north of the city of al-Fashir, the army's only holdout in the wider Darfur region where an estimated 300,000 remaining residents have been subject to a long siege by the rival Rapid Support Forces as fighting rages.
