- Mar 22, 2026, 08:34 AMA deadly attack on a health care facility in Sudan has killed 64 people and injured 89 others, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The incident was reported on Saturday and has raised serious concern among humanitarian organizations. The attack targeted a hospital, leading to heavy casualties, including patients and medical workers.
The United Nations humanitarian office in Sudan expressed shock over the attack, saying it was deeply disturbed by the bombing of a hospital in East Darfur. Reports revealed that many civilians, including children, were among those killed and injured. Human rights observers described the incident as another tragic example of violence affecting innocent people in the ongoing war.
A Sudanese rights group known as Emergency Lawyers reported that the hospital, called El-Daein Teaching Hospital, was hit by a drone strike carried out by the Sudanese army. The hospital is located in East Darfur, an area controlled by the paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). However, the WHO stated that it only records and verifies attacks and does not officially blame any side.
The conflict in Sudan has divided the country, with the RSF controlling most of the Darfur region while the army controls the eastern, central, and northern parts of the country. The city of El-Daein has been frequently attacked as the army tries to push RSF forces away from key areas. Earlier this month, another strike on the city's market caused a major fire that burned for several hours.
Drone attacks have now become common in Sudan's war, especially in regions like Kordofan, where many civilians have been killed. UN human rights chief Volker Turk recently condemned the use of powerful drones in populated areas, saying the attacks are causing massive destruction and loss of life. He warned that the continued use of explosive weapons in civilian areas is worsening the humanitarian crisis.
Since the war began, hospitals and health facilities have been repeatedly attacked, despite international condemnation. The United Nations reports that more than 1,800 people, including 173 health workers, have died in attacks on medical facilities. Overall, the war has killed tens of thousands of people and forced over 11 million to flee their homes, leaving more than 33 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
