The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who control a city in the west of the country, carried out a devastating attack on a major hospital on Friday night, but Sudan’s army has denied doing so. The president of the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 89 people had been injured and 64 people had died in the attack on el-Daein Teaching Hospital, including 13 children, two nurses, and a doctor.Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged the warring sides to put an end to the violence, which began over three years ago, writing on X, “Enough blood has been spilled.”
According to the RSF, on the day that Muslims were celebrating Eid, an army drone struck the hospital in el-Daein, the capital of East Darfur state. The military and the RSF, who had previously been partners after seizing power in a coup in 2021, engaged in a bloody struggle for control in April 2023, plunging Sudan into a civil war.
Since then, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 150,000 people, and around 12 million people, nearly a third of the nation’s population, have left their homes in what the UN has dubbed the biggest humanitarian disaster in history.
