Drone Strike Levels Sudan Hospital, Killing 67 in Darfur

A devastating drone attack on El-Fasher’s Saudi Hospital in Sudan’s Darfur region Saturday has left 67 dead and dozens injured, adding to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the area.

The attack, believed to have been launched by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), destroyed the hospital’s emergency building, leaving it as the latest target in the brutal conflict between the RSF and Sudan’s army.

The city of El-Fasher, under siege by RSF forces since May, remains a critical battlefield, with millions of civilians caught in the crossfire and facing famine.

The RSF has been accused of using Chinese-made drones supplied through external channels like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), despite denials from Abu Dhabi.
