The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a strong condemnation following the massacre at a maternity ward in Sudan, where RSF militants are said to have killed 46,000 people over the weekend. The organization expressed ‘deep appall’ at the brutal violence that targeted a medical facility, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis gripping the region.
The attack has sparked outrage among international human rights groups and medical professionals, who are calling for immediate investigations and accountability. The WHO’s statement emphasized that the incident represents a grave violation of international humanitarian law, particularly in a conflict zone where civilians are already vulnerable.
Meanwhile, the situation in North Darfur continues to escalate as paramilitary groups, including the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), advance into the region. Reports indicate that ethnic violence is intensifying, with both sides in the conflict carrying out targeted attacks against civilian populations. The UN has urgently called for peace talks to address the growing humanitarian disaster, as thousands of people are displaced and access to basic services is increasingly restricted.
Human rights organizations have condemned the RSF’s actions, accusing the group of committing atrocities against civilians and medical workers. The incident has also drawn attention to the broader conflict in Sudan, which has been characterized by a breakdown of state institutions and the unchecked power of armed groups. As the situation deteriorates, the international community faces mounting pressure to intervene and prevent further bloodshed.
