At least 40 people in Sudan have been killed in a drone strike that targeted a funeral in al-Luweib village, near the army-held city of el-Obeid. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are blamed for the attack, which left many mourners dead before they could reach the hospital. This incident highlights the escalating violence in the oil-rich Kordofan area, where recent conflicts have forced around 20,000 people to flee to el-Obeid. The UN reports that the ongoing war since April 2023 has resulted in over 150,000 deaths and displaced about 12 million people, marking it as one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. Global leaders have been urged to intervene and negotiate a truce as the situation worsens. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for immediate action to end the violence and address the intensifying humanitarian crisis.
