General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army strike on a displacement camp in Darfur killed six civilians and wounded dozens, rights monitors have said.
The attack struck Al-Hamidiyah camp near Zalingei at dawn, tearing through fragile shelters housing families already uprooted by relentless violence.
Emergency Lawyers, a Sudanese advocacy group, said shells destroyed multiple homes, leaving terrified residents scrambling amid smoke and debris.
The camp shelters thousands of displaced civilians, mostly women and children, who fled fighting and depend on limited humanitarian assistance for survival.
A medical source said at least 15 injured people were transferred to Zalingei Hospital, with several reported in critical condition.
Drone strikes by both Burhan’s army have intensified in residential areas, becoming a near-daily feature of the grinding conflict.
The war, which erupted in April 2023, has turned large parts of Sudan into a battlefield marked by shifting frontlines and civilian suffering.
According to the United Nations, nearly 700 civilians have been killed in drone attacks.
The conflict has killed tens of thousands, displaced more than 11 million people, and deepened what the UN calls the world’s largest hunger crisis.
As the war drags on, camps like Al-Hamidiyah stand as fragile sanctuaries, increasingly exposed to the very violence people sought to escape.
