Strike on Sudan Hospital Kills 64 as Health Care Death Toll Tops 2,000
The strike killed 64 people, including 13 children and medical staff, and pushed deaths from attacks on Sudanese healthcare past 2,000, the WHO reported.
- On Friday night, a strike hit Al Deain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur, killing at least 64 people, including 13 children, nurses and a doctor, and rendering the hospital non-functional.
- The attack came amid the war between Sudan's army and the RSF, with responsibility disputed as the RSF and Emergency Lawyers blamed an army drone, while the army denied targeting the hospital.
- WHO's SSA confirmed 2,036 deaths in 213 attacks, with 89 wounded, including eight health staff, and damage to paediatric, maternity and emergency departments, on Friday.
- WHO is supporting local health partners to scale up capacity and deploy trauma care supplies, with Tedros urging de-escalation and protection of civilians, saying 'Enough blood has been spilled. Enough suffering has been inflicted'.
- SSA figures show attacks on health care are growing deadlier year-on-year, with 65 attacks in 2025 causing 1,620 deaths and displacing around 12 million people needing aid.
