WHO warns on Sudan hospital attacks, care blocked

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called out the nonstop attacks hitting hospitals across Sudan, where the armed forces have been fighting the RSF militia since last April. Over 10 million people got displaced, and 25 million are starving badly. Tedros said health workers logged 198 verified strikes against medical centers that killed 1,735 people and wounded 438 others. The RSF took over Al-Nuhoud Hospital in West Kordofan five months back and turned it into their military setup, which left locals with zero proper care.

Doctors Without Borders pulled most of their crew from Zalingei Hospital after someone shot and killed a stretcher bearer outside the building, and four more got injured. The aid group said they cannot keep risking their teams anymore but will try helping from afar. Attacks on health infrastructure nearly tripled this year compared to before, and a massacre at al-Fashir's last working hospital killed almost 500 civilians recently.
