UN Reports Over 1,000 Civilian Deaths from Drone Strikes in Sudan

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has reported that more than 1,000 civilians were killed by drone strikes in Sudan during the first five months of 2026. This indicates a sharp escalation in the conflict's lethality for non-combatants. The ongoing war has also led to the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with millions requiring assistance and widespread reports of sexual violence.
