Sudan War Spreads as Drone Strikes and Hunger Deepen Crisis
Sudan’s conflict is expanding as drone strikes kill civilians and hunger risks spread across Darfur and Kordofan.
What happened
Drone strikes have killed civilians from El Obeid to Blue Nile, while famine risk is spreading across Darfur and Kordofan. The UN Security Council is meeting on Sudan, described as the world’s largest hunger and displacement crisis. Ambassadors are expected to press for a ceasefire, safe aid access and an end to weapons flows supporting the conflict.
Why it matters
The conflict is worsening civilian deaths, hunger and displacement, while continued weapons flows are fuelling the fighting and restricting humanitarian access.
