GenevaDrones hit up to 15 Sudanese power stations in October.
Each strike stops water pumps in Sudan while drought deepens, UNICEF said.
Power stations run water treatment, irrigation pumps and the cold storage that keeps vaccines viable, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said.
“If the world is waiting for something worse, it will be waiting at their graves,” Elder said.
UNICEF expects 825,000 children under 5 in Sudan to suffer severe acute malnutrition in 2026.

- Radio Dabanga leans critical
- ties the 71 aid-worker deaths in 2025 to the funding shortfall and to the politicisation of aid, not only to direct attacks
