Kordofan Displacement Surges Past 200,000 as Drone Strikes Target El-Obeid Infrastructure

Over 200,000 people have been newly displaced in Sudan’s Kordofan region due to intensified fighting and drone attacks on critical infrastructure in el-Obeid, according to the UN. The crisis is compounded by seasonal flooding in North Darfur, with the IOM warning that families are losing access to water, electricity, and healthcare. El-Obeid’s population has swelled to an estimated 3.4 million, up from 750,000 pre-war, as the RSF maintains positions south and west of the city.

The Sudanese armed forces have regained some ground and broken sieges, while the RSF—with SPLM-N and various regional backers—keeps pressure elsewhere. The UN and humanitarian groups are pleading for civilian protection amid growing concerns of a broader regional spillover and continued hardship for civilians.
