WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has called for an end to attacks on healthcare in Sudan after a drone strike on a North Darfur hospital killed over 70 people, including women and children.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, urged an immediate end to attacks on healthcare workers and facilities in Sudan following a drone strike on a hospital in North Darfur that left over 70 people dead and dozens more injured.
Tedros highlighted the importance of the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher, which is the only functional hospital in the area. The hospital provides essential services including gynecology, obstetrics, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and a nutrition stabilization center. In a post on X after Friday’s strike, he called for a halt to all attacks on healthcare in Sudan and for unhindered access to restore the damaged facilities.
The ongoing war between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) began in April 2023 over disputes related to the integration of the two military factions. The conflict has caused tens of thousands of deaths, displaced millions, and left half of Sudan's population facing hunger.
The violence in Darfur, largely attributed to the RSF, has sparked waves of ethnically driven attacks, creating a severe humanitarian crisis. Darfur Governor Mini Minnawi confirmed on X that an RSF drone targeted the hospital’s emergency department in El Fasher, killing several patients, including women and children.
Intense fighting continues in El Fasher between the RSF and Sudanese joint forces, including the army, local resistance groups, and police.
