Sudan: Over 60 Dead in Attack on Health Center in Darfur

More than 60 people have been killed and dozens injured in Sudan following an attack on a health center in Darfur, according to the World Health Organization. The attack on the El Daein health center, a secondary healthcare facility, is part of the escalation of the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The war in Sudan has escalated in recent months, with increasing drone strikes on populated areas. The Darfur region is largely controlled by paramilitary forces, while the army controls the eastern, central and northern parts of the country. El Daein, controlled by the RSF, is often targeted by the Sudanese army. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023, has caused a humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands dead and over 13 million displaced and refugees. The UN describes the situation as "the worst humanitarian crisis in the world." This incident highlights the tragic situation in Sudan and the need for immediate protection of civilians and health facilities. The ongoing violence endangers millions of lives and exacerbates the already precarious humanitarian situation.
