  • 70 killed and 19 injured in a drone strike on Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher.

  • The violence comes amid escalating conflict between the Sudanese military and RSF forces.

A drone strike on the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, has resulted in the tragic deaths of 70 people, including patients and their companions.

The attack is part of a broader escalation in the conflict between the Sudanese military, led by General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, and the RSF.

Sudan Healthcare Under Attack: WHO Demands Peace Amid Escalating Violence

A horrific drone strike on the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, has left 70 dead and 19 injured, including patients receiving critical care. The attack, which local authorities attribute to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), is one of the deadliest assaults on a healthcare facility during the ongoing conflict in Sudan. In a statement on social media, WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus condemned the violence and expressed deep concern over the safety of healthcare workers and patients.

The RSF has been engaged in fierce battles against the Sudanese military, led by General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, with both sides suffering significant losses. The Sudanese army recently claimed to have taken control of key strategic locations, including an oil refinery near Khartoum. Despite these battlefield victories, the violence continues to take a devastating toll on civilian populations.

Tedros Ghebreyesus also highlighted another attack on a health facility in Al Malha, further illustrating the increasing vulnerability of healthcare infrastructure in the region. As healthcare services become more difficult to access, the humanitarian situation worsens, leaving many without the critical care they need to survive.

The WHO has called for an immediate cessation of attacks on healthcare facilities and urged all parties involved in the conflict to prioritize peace. The organization stresses that the best solution to the crisis is the restoration of peace, which will allow for the rebuilding of health services and provide relief to the people of Sudan.

The ongoing violence in Sudan has devastated both the healthcare system and civilian lives. The urgent call for peace is necessary to halt further destruction and prevent more innocent lives from being lost.

“Above all, Sudan’s people need peace. The best medicine is peace.” — WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
