POLICY WIRE — Geneva, Switzerland — The United Nations has released a report indicating that over 80% of civilian deaths in Sudan since the beginning of this year have been caused by drone attacks. The alarming data underscores the escalating use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the ongoing conflict.

The UN’s findings highlight the severe impact of drone technology on civilian populations, marking a grim milestone in the country’s turbulent history. The report calls for immediate international action to address the growing humanitarian crisis.

In a separate development, Spain is grappling with the challenge of managing over 1,000 unaccompanied minors who remain in Ceuta. Legal constraints prevent their deportation, leaving authorities to seek alternative solutions for their care and integration.
