A horrific Sudan hospital strike has claimed the lives of at least 64 individuals and left 89 wounded, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirms. The devastating incident, which occurred at a healthcare facility in East Darfur, tragically included children and dedicated medical personnel among its victims.

The United Nations’ humanitarian office in Sudan expressed profound shock regarding the attack. Officials reported that dozens were killed, including minors, and many more sustained injuries in what appears to be an army drone assault on the facility.
