Drone Strikes and Civilians in Sudan

Drone strikes in Sudan have harmed civilians and damaged or disrupted services they rely on, including water infrastructure, healthcare facilities, markets, and transport.

Reports from places including El-Obeid describe injuries and deaths near water-truck stations, attacks affecting civilian vehicles, and strikes on relief transport. The consequences extend beyond immediate casualties: insecurity can constrain access to food, clean water, medical care, and aid. Health workers have also adapted facilities to reduce exposure and, in some hard-to-reach areas, used small drones to deliver medical supplies.
