Blue Nile State, a border region in eastern Sudan, is currently at the center of clashes between RSF and the army, amid civilian harm and humanitarian access cuts.
The fighting between the SAF and RSF has intensified around El-Obeid in North Kordofan, disrupting power and water supplies, threatening civilians, and triggering new displacement. UN and aid groups warn of escalating humanitarian needs as drone strikes and sieges press civilians and aid workers.
Drone attacks on El-Obeid and surrounding areas have escalated, hitting civilian targets including wedding-related vehicles and water transport. The fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF continues to displace thousands, disrupt essential services, and raise fears of a humanitarian catastrophe as drones disrupt infrastructure and supply routes.
The RSF and allied SPLM-N have entered Kurmuk as the army withdraws, claiming heavy losses and seizing weapons. Drones and artillery have pounded the town for days, with Kurmuk’s strategic position on a cross-border route intensifying fighting in Blue Nile. Civilians are displaced as the conflict widens across the region.
