Rights group says paramilitary drone strike in Sudan killed 41 near Ethiopian border
Emergency Lawyers said the RSF strike hit a camp for displaced people and left eight children among the dead.
- On Friday, a drone strike blamed on the Rapid Support Forces hit a gathering of displaced people in the Abu Shandi area of Sudan's Blue Nile province, killing 41, according to Emergency Lawyers.
- Sudan's war ignited in April 2023 when tensions between the military and the RSF exploded in Khartoum, with conflict monitor ACLED reporting at least 150,000 deaths.
- Among the 41 victims were eight children and many women, Emergency Lawyers reported; the strike occurred near the border with Ethiopia amid a conflict forcing more than 12.4 million from their homes.
- Denise Brown, humanitarian coordinator in Sudan, demanded accountability for "flagrant disregard for international humanitarian law," while the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs expressed dismay at the strike.
- Across Sudan, 33.7 million people, including 17.3 million children, urgently need aid this year, as aid groups call it the world's largest humanitarian crisis; the RSF did not respond to requests for comment.
