Paramilitary Forces in Sudan Kill at Least 10 People in Hospital Drone Attack, Medical Group Says
Doctors Without Borders said the strike hit an operating room and maternity ward, and 19 injured patients were moved to Kosti.
- On Thursday, paramilitary Rapid Support Forces launched two drone strikes on Al-Jabalain Hospital in Sudan's White Nile State, killing at least 10 people including seven medical staffers and injuring at least 19 others.
- The strike occurred during a children's immunization campaign, marking the latest incident in the ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF that began in April 2023.
- Doctors Without Borders condemned the strikes as a "deliberate assault on health facilities," said Esperanza Santos, MSF head of emergencies for Sudan, while transferring injured patients 80 kilometers away to Kosti.
- Sudan's Minister of Culture, Information, Antiquities and Tourism Khalid Aleisir condemned the violence on Friday, calling for the international community to designate the RSF as a terrorist organization and prosecute its members.
- The World Health Organization reported over 200 attacks on health care since the conflict began, while U.N. figures indicate the broader war has killed more than 40,000 people.
