Sudan's army said on Sunday several Red Cross personnel were injured after their convoy came under fire as they were evacuating civilians including foreign nationals from St. Mary's church in the capital Khartoum.
The army said in a statement that the Red Cross convoy came under fire after violating an agreement with the army by approaching its defensive positions using a car "belonging to the rebels" - a reference the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
In a separate statement the RSF accused the army of carrying out the attack. It said Red Cross personnel were killed in the incident, but did not give details.

Germany pledged a further 20 million euros ($23.6 million) to Sudan this year, the development ministry said on Wednesday, ahead of an international aid conference hosted in Berlin that is aiming to gather more than $1 billion in funding commitments.
Two arms brokers arranged illegal deals to supply ex-Soviet surface-to-air missile systems to South Sudan and fighter jets to Libya during its civil war, British prosecutors told a London court on Tuesday.
