Nearly 700 civilians have been killed in drone strikes in Sudan since the beginning of 2026, the United Nations has reported, while NGOs worry that the effects of the war in Iran are complicating efforts to help millions in need of humanitarian aid.

The increasing use of drones in the conflict was noted by the UN’s humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher in a statement issued on Tuesday. It comes as the country prepares to mark the third anniversary of the brutal conflict between the army and paramilitaries.
