22 EDT Prefer the Guardian on Google A strike on a healthcare facility in Sudan has killed 64 people and wounded 89 more, the World Health Organization reported on Saturday. Sudanese rights group the Emergency Lawyers, who document atrocities in the war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, reported it was an army drone strike that hit the El-Daein teaching hospital.

Why This Matters

The RSF dominates the vast western Darfur region, while the army is in control of Sudan’s east, centre and north. The WHO’s surveillance system for attacks marked Friday’s incident as “locked in” but did not give an exact location. The attack involved “violence with heavy weapons” and affected a secondary health care facility, medical personnel, patients, supplies and storage, the record showed.

Global events like this tend to have ripple effects worldwide.

Key Takeaways

• Though the WHO counts and verifies attacks on health care, it does not attribute blame, as it is not an investigative agency.
• Its most recent strike on the city’s market earlier this month set fire to oil barrels that burned for hours.

The Bottom Line

El-Daein, the RSF-controlled state capital of East Darfur, has been regularly attacked , which is trying to push the paramilitary back towards its Darfur strongholds and away from Sudan’s central corridor. Its most recent strike on the city’s market earlier this month set fire to oil barrels that burned for hours.
