In Sudan, an estimated 70 people were killed by a drone strike on a hospital in North Darfur’s besieged city of El Fasher. The World Health Organization says the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital — the last functioning hospital in the area — was “packed with patients receiving care” when the attack occurred. Sudan’s government blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, for the massacre. Prior to the assault, RSF had given a “48-hour ultimatum” to the Sudanese Armed Forces to leave El Fasher, warning of escalating attacks.

The hospital attack also came a day after two U.S. lawmakers said the United Arab Emirates is continuing to provide arms to the RSF, which the Biden administration recently accused of committing genocide in Sudan.

Over 14 million people have been displaced by the war, which started in April 2023. Three million of those have become refugees, most of them crossing the border to South Sudan and Chad.
