Hospital Drone Strike in Sudan Kills 70, U.N. Says

UN Raises Sudan Hospital Death Toll to 70, Including Staff, After Drone Strike

The United Nations has updated the death toll from a drone strike on a hospital in Sudan to seventy, including women, children, and medical staff. The attack on Al Deain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur on March twentieth has left the facility out of service. Search and rescue teams discovered six more bodies, bringing the injured to one hundred forty-six. The hospital served as a crucial referral center for over two million people in the region. The strike occurred in an area controlled by the Rapid Support Forces, who have been engaged in a civil war with Sudans army since April 2023. U.N. human rights experts lack evidence to assign blame, as both sides have carried out drone attacks on civilian areas, potentially constituting war crimes. Drones have killed over five hundred civilians since the years start, mainly in the Kordofan region. The U.N. urges all parties to protect medical sites and civilians amidst the ongoing conflict.
