Multiple sources confirm that a drone strike targeted the last functioning hospital in El Fasher, the besieged capital of Sudan's North Darfur state, resulting in a significant loss of life. According to the WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the hospital was packed with patients at the time of the attack, and the attack has been described as a violation of international law by Saudi Arabia.
Above all, Sudan's people need peace. The best medicine is peace.
The appalling attack on Saudi hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, led to 19 injuries and 70 deaths among patients and companions.
At the time of the attack, the hospital was packed with patients receiving care.
We continue to call for a cessation of all attacks on health care in Sudan, and to allow full access for the swift restoration of the facilities that have been damaged.
The people of El-Fasher have suffered so much already.
It exterminated all the patients who were inside it.
More than 70 civilians receiving treatment, most of them women and children, were victims of the massacre when the militia attacked the hospital's accident department with drones.
