Drone strike on Nyala market kills at least 21 as famine warnings grow

A resident says a drone attack on Monday evening hit a market in the north of Nyala, Darfur, killing at least 21 people and injuring 40. On Tuesday, the US, the EU and 30 countries warned of famine risk in Sudan and urged the warring parties to lift all impediments to humanitarian aid. A year after the fall of El-Fasher, at least 6,000 civilians are reported to have been killed by the Rapid Support Forces as they entered the city.

  • On Monday the UK sanctioned commanders from both sides suspected of sexual violence during the El Fasher siege, with travel bans and asset freezes.
  • RSF drones struck five power stations in Al-Jazira, Gedaref and White Nile states, causing outages across large parts of the three army-held states, an official said.
  • A drone strike killed at least four people last week in Bamina, Chad, where hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees have crossed the border.
  • Millions of Sudanese children are without schooling because of closures and displacement.
