Sudan Drone Attacks Raise Fears for Civilian Safety and Aid Efforts
- Since April 2023, fighting between Sudan’s military government and the Rapid Support Forces has intensified, including drone attacks near Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast.
- The RSF and military government, once allies, now clash for power, with recent drone strikes appearing as retaliatory military operations targeting airports.
- Multiple drone strikes hit military bases and fuel depots in Port Sudan, causing fires that threaten this key humanitarian hub, which had been largely spared from conflict until recently.
- UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq described the attack on Port Sudan as a concerning event that endangers the safety of civilians and disrupts humanitarian efforts, calling for an immediate halt to fighting and renewed dialogue.
- The strikes have disrupted relief efforts and raised fears of worsening Sudan’s humanitarian crisis, prompting UN calls to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians.
