Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details
Read the full assessment

Confirmed reports indicate women in El Obeid are subjected to systematic drone strikes during daylight hours and sexual violence at night, particularly when attempting to access water. This pattern suggests the weaponization of gender-based violence and basic resource access as a tactic in the ongoing conflict, leading to a total breakdown of civilian protection. Confidence in this assessment is high due to corroborating reports from UN agencies.
