WHO says strike on Sudan hospital kills 64 people

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Saturday that a strike on a hospital in East Darfur, Sudan, killed at least 64 people, including children, medical staff and patients, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a post on X.
WHO said the Friday attack Al-Daein Teaching Hospital has rendered the facility non-functional, cutting off essential medical services in the city.
Meanwhile, medical supplies to clinic sdealing with the humanitarian crisis in Sudan could run out within two weeks unless shipments are rapidly rerouted after disruptions due to the conflict in the Middle East, the charity Save the Children said.
The expanding US-Israeli war on Iran has shaken global supply chains, with airspace closures and the halt of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Some $600,000 worth of essential medicines are stuck in ports in Dubai, the charity said. About 90 Sudanese government-run clinics serving roughly 400 000 patients rely on the charity’s supply of medicines, vaccines and nutritional treatment, with no in-country alternative, Save the Children’s global director of supply chain, Willem Zuidema told Reuters
