Original: In El Obeid, Sudanese women face drones by day, rape by night, to reach water
A UN News report from El Obeid, Sudan, describes women making daily journeys to collect water amid the ongoing conflict. Women face drone strikes during the day and sexual violence at night along the routes to water points. The account highlights the acute shortages of water and safety in the besieged city and the disproportionate burden on women as the war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces continues.
