The drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, coupled with the targeting of a World Food Programme aid convoy, highlights the severe instability and humanitarian crisis in Sudan. This ongoing conflict negatively impacts regional stability and humanitarian efforts, with potential long-term economic consequences for Sudan.
A drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit a vehicle carrying displaced families in central Sudan, near Rahad in North Kordofan province, killing at least 24 people, including eight children. This incident occurred a day after a World Food Programme (WFP) aid convoy was also targeted in North Kordofan, resulting in one death and the destruction of life-saving food assistance. The Sudan Doctors Network reported the attack and urged the international community to protect civilians and hold the RSF leadership accountable. The RSF has been at war against the Sudanese military for control of Sudan for about three years, a conflict that erupted in April 2023. This devastating war has led to tens of thousands of deaths, over 14 million displaced people, and the world's largest humanitarian crisis, fueling disease outbreaks and famine across the country.
