The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has issued a grave warning following a massacre at a hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, where hundreds of civilians lost their lives during a violent conflict. The hospital, which had served as a last refuge for starving and injured civilians in the region, has now become a symbol of the escalating violence in the region. The incident has drawn international condemnation and raised urgent concerns about the humanitarian situation in Sudan.
The hospital, known as Al Saudi Hospital, was a critical medical facility in El Fasher, a town that has been a major battleground in the ongoing conflict in Darfur. Recent reports indicate that the area was recently seized by the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group under the control of Sudan’s military leadership. The attack on the hospital, which was reportedly targeted during the military offensive, has raised serious questions about the protection of civilians and medical facilities in conflict zones.
Witnesses and medical personnel on the ground have described the attack as a brutal and indiscriminate assault, with many casualties among the injured and vulnerable. The W.H.O. has urged immediate international intervention to provide aid and protect civilians in the region. The incident has also sparked renewed calls for an end to the ongoing violence and greater accountability for the perpetrators of such atrocities.
