On Saturday, a drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in North Kordofan province, Sudan, killed at least 24 people, including eight children, who were displaced and fleeing fighting near Rahad. The Sudan Doctors Network reported the attack and noted severe medical supply shortages in the area. This incident follows an attack on Friday on a World Food Program (WFP) aid convoy in the same province, which resulted in one death and the destruction of vital food supplies intended for displaced people in Obeid. The WFP and others condemned the attacks, highlighting the disruption of aid efforts and the violation of international humanitarian law, as fighting between the RSF and the Sudanese military continues since April 2023.
