The UN’s humanitarian office in Sudan had earlier said it was “appalled by the attack on a hospital in East Darfur yesterday, reportedly killing dozens, including children, and injuring more”.
The head of the World Health Organization said on Saturday that 13 children were among 64 people killed in a strike on a hospital in Sudan.
“WHO has verified yet another attack on health care in Sudan. This time, El-Daein Teaching Hospital in East Darfur’s capital, El-Daein, was struck, killing at least 64 people, including 13 children, two female nurses, one male doctor, and multiple patients,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X
Sudanese rights group the Emergency Lawyers, who document atrocities in the war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, reported it was an army drone strike that hit the El-Daein Teaching Hospital.
