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.
Today more than 15.6 million children in Sudan need support to overcome the horrifying impacts of this conflict. They've seen their homes, hospitals, playgrounds and schools bombed, looted and occupied.
They've lost loved ones and been subject to unspeakable violence. They've been cut off from the very basics like food, shelter, and healthcare. They are surviving bombs and bullets to risk dying from starvation and disease.
The horrors of conflicts like this can have a severe and long-lasting impact on children's mental health unless they receive the urgent support they need.
More than 13 million of the country's 17 million school-age children are currently out of school. Schools across conflict-affected areas are either closed, damaged, or being used as shelters for displaced families, leaving children with no safe or secure place to learn.
Save the Children and its partners remain dedicated to providing life-saving assistance to families who continue to be impacted by this crisis.

MSF is outraged by these repeated attacks on healthcare, which have escalated dangerously in recent weeks. Health facilities, medical staff, and patients must always be protected. We call on RSF and SAF to immediately stop this spiral of violence against medical facilities.”
