Summary

A drone strike attributed to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed 41 people and injured 19 at a displacement camp in the Abu Shandi area of Blue Nile province near the Ethiopian border. Residents observed that most victims were women and children. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs condemned the attack and called for accountability. One report attributed the strike to forces in Ethiopia, which has denied involvement. The incident occurred amid ongoing conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces that has caused significant displacement and humanitarian crisis.
