A drone strike by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces killed 41 displaced people in Blue Nile State, Sudan, the Associated Press reported. The attack adds to the mounting civilian toll of Sudan's civil war, which has displaced millions of people since fighting broke out between the RSF and the Sudanese army in 2023.

Humanitarian organisations have repeatedly warned that displaced populations sheltering in camps and informal settlements face recurring attacks as the conflict continues with no resolution in sight, deepening one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.
