Sudan's El Obeid Under Relentless Drone Attack as Civilian Toll Mounts
The Guardian·Sunday, 5 July 2026
Aid workers in El Obeid, Sudan, describe the city as a war zone under near-daily drone strikes from the RSF paramilitary group fighting Sudan's armed forces. One aid volunteer said seeing 40 to 45 drones at once has become normal. A weekend attack hit schools and fuel stations, killing more than 20 people including students.
Why It Matters
Sudan's ongoing conflict is creating one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. India has a significant diaspora in the Gulf countries that rely on stable African trade routes, and the crisis adds pressure to global food and fuel supply chains.
