A drone strike occurred near a displacement site in Wad Al Mahi, Blue Nile State, an area under Sudanese Armed Forces control that has experienced recent attacks. This site hosts internally displaced persons (IDPs) from recent hostilities in Geissan and Kurmuk localities. Additionally, the risk of famine is expanding to parts of South Darfur due to drought compounding conflict.

The safety of IDPs in conflict-affected areas remains a critical concern, as evidenced by the drone strike near a displacement site. The combination of conflict and drought is severely impacting food security, with emergency and catastrophic food insecurity outcomes expected across several regions.

Displacement continues, with IDPs seeking refuge in sites that are themselves vulnerable to attacks. The war and insecurity are driving a significant number of Sudanese to undertake long and dangerous journeys to other countries, often facing further risks in transit. The conflict also has a profound and lasting mental health toll, particularly on children with disabilities.

The specific number of casualties or injuries from the drone strike is not yet covered in recent reporting.
