UN says shelter aid is running out for millions displaced by Sudan's war

On Friday the UN warned that funds for emergency shelter in Sudan are running low. Fewer than 1 million of the 15.4 million people who need shelter have received help. On Thursday the UN peacekeeping chief told the Security Council that drone strikes in the disputed Abyei area last month killed at least 30 people. On Wednesday Ethiopia expelled six Sudanese diplomats amid accusations that it lets the RSF launch drone strikes from its territory.

• Fewer than 1 million of 15.4 million people needing emergency shelter in Sudan have been helped, according to the UN.
• Drone strikes in Abyei killed at least 30 people last month, the UN peacekeeping chief said, calling it a new and concerning dimension.
• Ethiopia expelled six Sudanese diplomats over accusations that it allows RSF drone launches from its territory.
• Arab Sudanese refugees in Chad face hostility from other refugees, with RSF-linked fighters accused of targeting civilians from other ethnic groups.
