Sudan Hospital Attack
Sudan Hospital Attack: Around 70 people lost their lives in a tragic attack on the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, according to a report by the World Health Organization on Sunday. Local officials have attributed the attack to the rebel group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The attack comes as the civil war in Sudan escalates, with heavy clashes between the RSF and Sudanese military forces. On Saturday, Sudan’s army chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, appeared near a burning oil refinery north of Khartoum, claiming it had been captured from RSF forces.
Saudi Arabia condemned the hospital attack, labeling it a violation of international law and urging for the protection of civilians and healthcare facilities.
In a related development, South Sudan has suspended access to social media platforms for 30 days. This decision follows the spread of videos showing alleged killings of South Sudanese nationals in Sudan. The move is intended to prevent further unrest and violence within South Sudan.
