Escalating violence and drone strikes in El Obeid displace 11,000
Intensified hostilities and repeated drone strikes in and around the city of El Obeid in North Kordofan forced 11,000 people to flee their homes. The violence caused significant civilian casualties, destroyed essential infrastructure, and created siege-like conditions that severed access to basic services according to Save the Children and the UN. Children make up half of the newly displaced, arriving at overcrowded camps in desperate need of water and healthcare.
