UN World News Brief: 'Deadly Drone Attacks' Underscore Sudan Civilian Crisis

The United Nations released a World News in Brief bulletin on March 31 highlighting Sudan's escalating drone attacks on civilian targets as a critical humanitarian concern. The brief reiterated the UN's call on both SAF and RSF to immediately cease attacks on civilian populations and facilitate unhindered humanitarian access, particularly to Dilling (South Kordofan), Geissan (Blue Nile), and RSF-held Darfur. The UN noted the UNSC press statement condemning 'repeated drone attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure' and called for accountability for attacks that may constitute war crimes. Humanitarian agencies reported continued inability to reach Dilling as of March 31 due to the Habila road blockade, with residents relying on dwindling food stocks.
