The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a stern condemnation following a deadly assault on the only partially functional hospital in El-Fasher, Sudan. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus revealed on Monday that the Saudi Maternity Hospital was targeted in the attack, resulting in the tragic death of one nurse and injuries to three other healthcare workers. Ghebreyesus expressed deep concern over the inability to gather further details due to a communication blackout in the region, which has severely hampered verification efforts. He urgently called for an immediate cessation of hostilities to safeguard healthcare facilities and personnel. The attack underscores the dire humanitarian situation in Sudan, where ongoing conflict continues to devastate critical infrastructure and endanger lives. The WHO has repeatedly emphasized the importance of protecting medical facilities during conflicts, as they are vital for providing life-saving care to vulnerable populations. This incident highlights the urgent need for international intervention to address the escalating crisis in Sudan and ensure the safety of healthcare workers and civilians alike.
