What's Happening Right Now
SUDAN, WHITE NILE STATE — Once again, in Sudan, healthcare has been struck at its heart. On 2 April, a drone attack reportedly carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted Al-Jabalain Hospital in White Nile State. There were two strikes, one hit the operating theatre and the other one the maternity ward.
This unacceptable assault resulted in at least 10 fatalities, including seven medical staff, some of whom have previously worked with MSF. The attack is even more appalling as it occurred during a children's immunization campaign. Our thoughts go to the families of the deceased, including our former colleagues.
As part of our emergency response, MSF is supplying fuel to enable four Ministry of Health ambulances to transfer patients from Al-Jabalain to Kosti, around 80 kilometers away. At least 19 of the injured have been transferred to Kosti.
On March 20 a deadly attack carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) targeting El-Daein Hospital, East Darfur, resulted in the deaths of 70 people, including 15 children. MSF sent a truck of medical supplies to assist the hospital in managing the casualties.
