A drone attack attributed to Sudan's paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has resulted in the deaths of 24 people, including eight children and two infants. The attack occurred on Saturday near the city of Rahad in North Kordofan province, a region grappling with severe shortages of medical supplies. The victims were traveling in a vehicle that was carrying families who had been displaced by ongoing violence in the Dubeiker area.

This incident follows a recent escalation in violence against civilians, highlighted by an attack on a World Food Program aid convoy that resulted in one death and multiple injuries. The Sudan Doctors Network reported the casualties and has called for an urgent response from the international community to protect civilians in the conflict-ridden area. This recurring violence emphasizes the dire humanitarian crisis faced by the population amidst ongoing conflict in Sudan.

The situation in North Kordofan reflects broader issues of instability and human rights violations in Sudan, prompting calls from various organizations for greater accountability and protection of civilians. As international attention remains critical, the incident underscores the urgent need for humanitarian support and intervention to safeguard those affected by the conflict, especially vulnerable populations such as children and displaced families.
