Children Among Victims of 'Appalling' Sudan Hospital Attack, WHO Reports
A devastating attack on a hospital in Sudan has claimed the lives of over 40 individuals, primarily children and medical staff, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The hospital, located in West Kordofan, was reportedly targeted during ongoing hostilities between rival factions. WHO has condemned the attack and called for an immediate cessation of violence against healthcare facilities.
Significant evidence has surfaced indicating that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are responsible for the strike on Al-Mujlad Hospital in Muglad town. The attack occurred as these forces allegedly sought to eliminate members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) believed to be inside the facility. Amid this chaos, UNICEF has highlighted a worsening crisis for children, with many facing malnutrition and lack of education due to the ongoing conflict.
In addition to the tragic loss of life, the conflict has exacerbated the plight of vulnerable children, with reports of sexual assault and suicide attempts among the youngest victims. Both local and international humanitarian agencies continue to call for an end to the violence and for urgent assistance to aid those affected by the conflict.
The alarming situation underscores the dire need for immediate humanitarian support and international intervention to bring stability back to Sudan.
