Cairo:More than 300 children have been killed or injured in the last six months in the war in Sudan, mostly from drone strikes, the UN children's agency said on Monday.
The Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have been fighting since April 2023.
The war is now concentrated in the Kordofan, Darfur and Blue Nile states, with drone warfare causing 60 per cent of casualties, according to UNICEF.
The UN, US, UK and others have expressed alarm about potential atrocities as the RSF and the military fight for control of the strategic city of el-Obeid in North Kordofan. In Geneva on Monday, the UN-backed Human Rights Council approved a measure, brought by five European countries, condemning the escalating violence by the RSF and its allies in and around el-Obeid.agencies
