  "account": "A drone strike conducted by Sudan's paramilitary forces resulted in the deaths of 41 individuals in the Blue Nile region, a location that shares a border with Ethiopia, according to a rights group. The incident occurred on Friday when the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted a camp housing displaced people in Abu Shandi area. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) expressed deep concern over the tragic reports, noting that preliminary information indicated the majority of victims were women and children. The Sudanese army and paramilitary groups, including the RSF, have been embroiled in a power struggle since 2023, leading to the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and the displacement of over 14 million individuals. This situation has exacerbated one of the most severe humanitarian crises worldwide, with millions requiring urgent medical assistance. The Sudanese army predominantly controls the central and eastern regions, while the RSF, based in the western Darfur region, also governs areas in the south. Both entities have been accused of employing drone attacks. OCHA reported that the area hit on Friday had been repeatedly targeted in recent weeks, causing the displacement of thousands of civilians and placing many others at risk of significant harm.",
