Sudan drone attack on key hospital killed 64 people during Eid, WHO says
AI Summary
A drone attack on el-Daein Teaching Hospital in East Darfur, Sudan, killed 64 people, including 13 children, two nurses, and a doctor, on Friday night during the Eid holiday. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported the hospital is no longer functional, depriving thousands of vital medical care. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) blamed the Sudanese army for the attack, stating a drone strike destroyed the hospital's top floor and damaged critical departments. The Sudanese army denied responsibility, claiming it adheres to international laws. The WHO condemned the attack, noting over 2,000 people have been killed in attacks on healthcare facilities during the nearly three-year conflict between the army and the RSF, which began in April 2023. The Emergency Lawyers group is calling for an investigation into the incident.
