(Human Events)—At least 40 people, including children and healthcare workers, were killed in an airstrike on Al-Mujlad Hospital in Sudan’s West Kordofan state, according to health officials and civil society groups. The attack took place on Saturday near an active front in Sudan’s ongoing civil war.
The World Health Organization condemned the strike, calling it “another appalling attack” on medical infrastructure in the conflict. “We cannot say this louder,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X. “Attacks on health must stop everywhere!”
Another appalling attack on health in #Sudan, this one in the Al Mujlad Hospital in West Kordofan, causing over 40 civilian deaths, including of children and health workers, and dozens of injuries.
We cannot say this louder: attacks on health must stop everywhere! #NotATarget

The WHO’s office in Sudan confirmed that at least six children and five health workers were among the dead, according to the BBC.
Dozens more were injured in the bombing, which struck the only operating medical facility in the area, the Sudan Doctors Network said.
Responsibility for the attack remains contested. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) blamed the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), a position echoed by the Sudan Doctors Network and the Emergency Lawyers group, both of which track violations committed by both factions. The Sudanese army has not issued a formal statement.
