Drones and drought threaten children in Sudan: UNICEF

 

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says drones and drought pose a threat to children in Sudan. UNICEF has raised the alarm over unprecedented attacks on the country’s infrastructure, including attacks involving drones travelling up to 1 500 kilometres before hitting their targets.

The UN agency’s warning comes amid ongoing fighting between former allies turned military rivals, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
