The UN Human Rights Council held an emergency meeting on 3 July and adopted a resolution to investigate violence in El Obeid, where an estimated 500,000 civilians are at risk. Drone attacks accounted for 60 percent of child casualties according to reports from AllAfrica and Africa News, with highest levels recorded in Darfur and Kordofan states. The war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, which began in April 2023, has concentrated fighting in Kordofan, Darfur, and Blue Nile states.
