A drone attack by Sudan’s paramilitary forces has killed 41 people in the country’s Blue Nile region bordering Ethiopia, a rights group has said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The strike by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted a camp for displaced people in the state’s Abu Shandi area on Friday, Emergency Lawyers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said it was “appalled by horrifying reports”. It said initial reports suggested most of the casualties were women and children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Sudanese army and paramilitary forces including the RSF have been locked in a power struggle since 2023, a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced more than 14 million from their homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It has also created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions of people needing medical help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

The army controls much of Sudan’s central and eastern regions, while the RSF is headquartered in the western region of Darfur and also controls areas in the south.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n

Both sides have been accused of using drone attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Ocha said in a statement that the area reportedly struck on Friday had been “under sustained atttack in recent weeks, displacing thousands of civilians and exposing many more to grave harm”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
