Attack on Hospital in Sudan Kills More Than 40 People

HeadlineJun 24, 2025

In Sudan, the World Health Organization says over 40 people were killed in a weekend attack on a hospital near the front line between the Sudanese army and the rival paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces. It’s not clear who ordered the attack which left five health care workers and six children among the dead; but at least one human rights group said a Sudanese army drone was responsible. Fighting between Sudan’s rival military factions since April 2023 has spawned the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with over 12 million people displaced both internally and across borders.
