Sudan continues to be embroiled in a devastating civil war that erupted in April 2023, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and over 12 million displacements. A recent drone strike on the only operating hospital in El Fasher killed approximately 70 people. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of the WHO emphasized the dire need for peace over medical aid. Local authorities blamed the attack on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who have been exerting control over much of Darfur amidst ongoing military confrontations with the Sudanese Army under General al-Burhan's leadership.
The attack comes at a time when access to health care is already severely constrained in the state due to the closure of health facilities following intense bombardments.
Above all, Sudan's people need peace. The best medicine is peace.
The RSF had given a 48-hour ultimatum to the Sudanese Armed Forces to vacate El Fasher.
The army, under chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has made significant progress against the RSF in recent months.
