A devastating drone attack in central Sudan has reportedly killed at least 24 people, including children, in what witnesses and medical groups describe as a strike on civilians fleeing ongoing conflict.
The attack has been linked to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), one of the main parties in Sudan’s brutal power struggle. Those killed were largely displaced families who had already been forced from their homes by months of violence.
Civilians Caught in the Crossfire
Sudan’s war has created one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, with millions displaced across the country. Many civilians have been attempting to escape fighting in search of safety, only to find themselves exposed to further danger.
This latest strike highlights the growing risks faced by ordinary people, especially in areas where conflict zones are expanding and protection remains limited.
Rising Use of Drone Warfare
The reported drone attack reflects a worrying trend in Sudan’s conflict, where advanced weapons are increasingly being used in populated areas. Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned that such attacks are pushing civilian casualties even higher.
Children and vulnerable families continue to pay the heaviest price.
International Concern Mounts
The incident has sparked renewed calls for accountability and stronger international action to protect civilians. Aid groups stress that displaced communities, already struggling with shortages of food, medicine, and shelter, cannot survive further violence.
As Sudan’s conflict drags on, the prospects for peace remain uncertain, while the humanitarian toll continues to rise.
A Crisis That Demands Attention
This tragedy is another reminder that Sudan’s war is not only a political and military struggle — it is a catastrophe for millions of civilians whose lives have been shattered.
Without urgent steps toward ceasefire and humanitarian access, more innocent lives remain at risk.
