More than 1,600 people have been killed in attacks on medical facilities and health care centers in war-torn Sudan so far this year, the United Nations health chief said Wednesday — the latest daunting statistic in the devastating conflict in the African nation.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, said the agency has documented 65 attacks on health facilities since January. The attacks also left 276 people wounded.
