Intensified fighting in Sudan's Blue Nile displaces 4,000 in ten days
Escalating drone strikes and ground attacks by an alliance of the Rapid Support Forces and SPLM-N have triggered a surge in displacement in Sudan's Blue Nile State. The United Nations reported on April 7 that over 4,000 people fled their homes in the last 10 days alone, primarily seeking refuge in Ed Damazin. The influx has caused acute shortages of food and water, with 64% of displaced households lacking access to clean drinking water amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
