The World Health Organization, WHO, has raised alarm about the recent attacks in the Darfur region of Sudan that has been ravaged by war, in which dozens of people have been killed and many others injured
WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said this this Thursday on X, describing the most recent attacks in Kabkabiya, North Darfur, which claimed at least 80 lives, as shocking.
He condoled with the affected communities in Sudan while also warning that health facilities in Darfur are barely managing to meet health needs with non-functional equipment and limitations of medical supplies.
Reports say the latest victims are among at least 176 people killed in two days of army and paramilitary strikes across Sudan this week.
Both the army and the Rapid Support Forces, who have been at war since April 2023, have been accused of indiscriminately targeting civilians and deliberately bombing residential areas.
