Escalation of attacks on El Obeid amid humanitarian crisis in Sudan

Mainstream reporting continues to describe a sustained RSF drone and bombardment campaign against El Obeid in North Kordofan, with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights publicly characterising the situation as a 'red alert' human rights catastrophe and the UN Human Rights Council calling for an urgent investigation. Reporting documents repeated damage to civilian fuel, water and power infrastructure, schools, markets and civilian vehicles alongside an ongoing humanitarian collapse. Arabic-language reporting cites SAF claims of control of battle axes in El Obeid and reported advances toward al-Karmak in South/West Kordofan, while an acute fuel crisis continues to paralyse the city. Reporting does not identify any named insured industrial, extractives, port, airfield, telecommunications or logistics asset and provides no insured loss estimate across the Kordofan, Darfur or Gezira theatres.
