Tragedy struck in Sudan's North Darfur state as a drone strike targeted the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher, claiming the lives of at least 70 individuals, primarily women and children. The hospital, the last functioning medical facility in the besieged capital, was packed with patients at the time of the attack, further exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation in the region.
The attack, which occurred late Friday, is the latest escalation in the ongoing civil war that has plagued Sudan for the past 20 months. The conflict between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) has resulted in over 20,000 deaths and displaced more than 11 million people, making it one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
