Multiple drone strikes occurred in Sudan, with one on October 9 hitting a building sheltering displaced families in An Nuhud, West Kordofan, killing at least 12 civilians. On the same day, another strike in Ghubaish town reportedly killed five people. A separate drone strike was reported near a displacement site in Wad Al Mahi, Blue Nile State, an area under Sudanese Armed Forces control.

The ongoing conflict and drought are expanding the risk of famine to parts of South Darfur. The war also has a significant mental health toll on children with disabilities, who face insecurity, trauma, anxiety, and confusion.

Emergency (IPC Phase 4) food insecurity outcomes are widespread, with some populations facing Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) in conflict and drought-affected areas. The conflict has led to 65,644 internally displaced persons and 25 refugees, with many Sudanese seeking safety through dangerous routes to the Western Mediterranean.

The specific actors responsible for the drone strikes are not identified in the provided reports, nor is the number of new arrivals from Sudan to Egypt during the reporting period.
