At least 70 people were killed in an attack on a hospital in the besieged city of El Fasher in Sudan, the World Health Organization (WHO) chief said, urging an end to attacks on healthcare workers and facilities.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, confirmed in a post on social media that the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital, “the only functional hospital in El Fasher”, was “packed with patients receiving care” at the time of the attack on Friday.
