AI Summary

short article 1 min

A strike on a healthcare facility in Sudan killed 64 people, including 13 children, and wounded 89 others, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The attack, confirmed by the WHO's Surveillance System for Attacks, involved heavy weapons and impacted a secondary healthcare facility, medical personnel, patients, supplies, and storage. The UN's humanitarian office expressed its dismay at the attack on the hospital in East Darfur. Sudanese rights group Emergency Lawyers reported the strike on the El-Daein Teaching Hospital was carried out by an army drone. While the WHO counts and verifies attacks on healthcare, it does not attribute blame.
