Army Drone Strike in East Darfur Kills 64, Wounds 89 in Devastating Hospital Attack

A deadly army drone strike on a hospital in East Darfur has left at least 64 dead and 89 wounded, the World Health Organization confirmed Saturday. The UN’s humanitarian office in Sudan expressed outrage, noting that children and medical personnel were among the victims. “We are appalled by the attack on a hospital in East Darfur yesterday, reportedly killing dozens, including children, and injuring more,” the UN statement read. This latest assault underscores the deepening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where healthcare infrastructure has become a frequent target amid ongoing conflict. The WHO has repeatedly warned that attacks on medical facilities not only claim lives directly but also cripple essential services for entire communities. As fighting intensifies across the region, aid organizations struggle to deliver critical supplies to areas under siege. The international community faces mounting pressure to intervene as civilian casualties continue to mount in what many describe as a spiraling catastrophe.
