Around 50,000 people have crossed into northern Kenya following violent clashes in neighbouring Ethiopia.
As the situation evolves, Government of Kenya and humanitarian partners are preparing for possible further arrivals, with response planning covering up to 80,000 people.
🚨 #SUDAN: UN Independent international fact-finding mission for the Sudan concludes that #RSF drone strikes in #ElObeid, capital of North Kordofan region of Sudan, may amount to war crimes.

"The conflict is becoming more geographically extensive, more technologically sophisticated, very dangerous for civilians"

Of regional concern is the expansion of the Sudan conflict beyond its borders following drone strikes in the south-east, Blue Nile state, bordering South Sudan and Ethiopia, where SAF & SPLM-N clashed near Kurmuk on 19 October 2026 risking a regional war

Escalating conflict in Sudan’s Blue Nile State has triggered a massive displacement crisis, forcing thousands to flee intense fighting in Geisan and Kurmuk. Many families are pouring into Damazin and surrounding localities, while others are crossing borders into Ethiopia and South Sudan in a desperate search for safety.
Displaced families arriving at hastily established camps face dire conditions, trapped between severe shortages of food and medicine and the onset of heavy torrential rains. Without proper shelter or mosquito nets, parents are struggling to shield children under makeshift tarpaulins, raising urgent alarms over rapidly spreading outbreaks of rain-driven diseases like malaria and dengue fever.
Local emergency response groups warn that the humanitarian catastrophe is outpacing current aid capacity. As military operations intensify and Blue Nile shifts into a central axis of the broader Sudan conflict, thousands of vulnerable civilians remain caught in a deadly cycle of displacement, disease, and deprivation.

On 10 Oct 2026, Egypt struck artisanal gold mining sites near a disputed border between Sudan & Egypt, killing at least 72 artisanal gold miners & on 19 Oct, a the SAF attacked a market in Abyei, killing at least 220 persons and injuring 27 others

🚨 More than 220 people were killed in Monday's drone strike on a market in Abyei, a territory on the border claimed by both Sudan and South Sudan, Abyei's caretaker Information Minister Yohana Akol told Eye Radio. The dead were buried in two mass graves. Earlier Tuesday, Akol had told the AP at least 153 had been killed.
The strike hit a fuel depot at Amiet market, sparking a fire that was still burning Tuesday. Doctors Without Borders said it had received over 20 wounded, including burn patients.
Akol blamed Sudan's army, which did not respond.
Ssources told Radio Tamazuj that the Rapid Support Forces used the market to buy fuel for its troops, and that the section where fuel was sold was targeted. The market serves Ngok Dinka and Misseriya traders as well as people displaced by Sudan's war, and most of the dead were civilian traders, Radio Tamazuj reported. The Misseriya, an Arab herding tribe, have been a key source of RSF fighters, according to Sudan Tribune.
South Sudan summoned Sudan's ambassador in Juba to "convey its strong protest," urging Sudan to "refrain from actions that endanger civilian lives and property."

A big win for International Refugee Law once again as the Court upholds the principle of non-refoulment & quashes the directive by the Kenyan Government that had imposed a blanket ban on registration of refugees from Ethiopia and Eritrea.. Big win for the rule of law and international human rights..🥳🙏 Cc my team of lawyers @_ngaowilson @ninah_zahira 🥳 #refugeelaw #internationalhumanrights

Approximately 36,000 people have crossed from Ethiopia into Kenya, fleeing violence around Moyale.
Many are women and children.
UNHCR is on the ground, working alongside UN agencies and humanitarian partners to support the national and local emergency response.

Climate disasters don't affect everyone equally.
@Oxfam's Disaster Divide report highlights how the richest 0.1% emit more carbon than the poorest 44% combined, while vulnerable communities bear the cost.

🚨 SUDAN: @FCDOGovUK announces Sanctions on 15 senior commanders from both the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) & Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) for conflict-related sexual violence & deliberate starvation of civilians in #ElFasher

#Sudan | Last October in #ElFasher, "the RSF unleashed a wave of intense violence in which thousands of people were killed in a matter of days," @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk told the @UN Human Rights Council.
"Our collective job is to hold those responsible accountable."
After an eighteen-month siege that starved hundreds of thousands of civilians, El Fasher fell to the Rapid Support Forces.
Subsequently, @MSF_SouthSudan reported women & girls were subjected to horrific sexual violence, & entire communities devastated.

🇸🇩 MSF reports 3,300 sexual violence victims treated in Darfur in under two years
Médecins Sans Frontières said Tuesday it treated 3,396 survivors of sexual violence at facilities in Sudan’s North and South Darfur states between January 2024 and November 2025, identifying Rapid Support Forces fighters and allied militias as the primary responsible party for the widespread and systemic abuse.
Women and girls accounted for 97% of victims, and one in five survivors in South Darfur were under 18, including 41 children under the age of five.
