The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a tragic incident in Sudan, where an attack on a hospital has left at least 70 people dead and 19 others injured.
The attack, which occurred amid ongoing violent clashes in the region, has further strained the fragile healthcare system already grappling with limited resources and escalating humanitarian crises. According to the WHO, hospitals in the area have faced repeated attacks, severely compromising their ability to provide life-saving care.
The organization condemned the attack, reiterating the need for immediate protection of healthcare facilities, workers, and patients under international humanitarian law. WHO urged all parties involved in the conflict to prioritize the safety and well-being of civilians and ensure unobstructed access to medical services.
This devastating event is a stark reminder of the consequences of armed conflict on civilian populations. Humanitarian agencies are calling for global attention and urgent action to address the deteriorating situation in Sudan.
