A drone strike carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed 41 people in the Abu Shandi area of Sudan's Blue Nile region on Friday. The attack targeted a camp housing displaced civilians, according to the Emergency Lawyers group. The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that most casualties were women and children. This incident follows weeks of sustained attacks in the region that have displaced thousands of people. The ongoing power struggle between the Sudanese army and the RSF has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of displacements since 2023.
Why it matters
The strike deepens one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, further endangering millions of civilians who lack access to medical care and basic safety.
