Deadly drone strikes have hit the Sudanese city of El Obeid, killing civilians and raising fears of a wider offensive by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Residents say repeated strikes have targeted homes, fuel facilities and vital infrastructure, worsening shortages of water and fuel in the strategically important city. Aid groups warn the RSF may be attempting to isolate El Obeid ahead of a ground assault, raising concerns of a humanitarian catastrophe similar to previous battles elsewhere in Sudan. Around 500,000 residents, along with nearly 200,000 displaced people sheltering in the city, are at risk as the conflict intensifies. Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan reports from Khartoum.
