'There are people we still cannot identify' - At least 64, including 13 children, killed in southwestern Sudan hospital strike on Eid

"At least 64 people, including 13 children, were reported dead in an alleged drone strike on a hospital in El-Daein, southwestern Sudan on Saturday. Footage captured on Sunday shows the aftermath of the attack, with rubble strewn across El-Daein Teaching Hospital, while officials arrived at the site to assess the situation. Operating theatres, wards, and medical equipment were also heavily damaged. "On the first day of Eid, there were a lot of patients, by God, most of them children and women," a doctor recalled. "The drone struck at about 8:48. By God, it was a very difficult situation all at once. I mean, these upstairs wards had 180 patients, and the downstairs wards had 120 [...] Even my colleague's condition is critical, God help him." "We were just working like that when we were surprised by the ground shaking and the ceiling falling on the patients," added a medical worker. According to the staff, many victims were children and those already in need of medical care, alongside ordinary civilians. "A massive number of martyrs. There are people we still cannot identify; it was just flesh, just people's flesh being gathered in one place," she claimed. The World Health Organisation confirmed that 64 people, including 13 children, were killed and up to 89 wounded on Saturday. Sudanese rights group Emergency Lawyers claimed the facility was struck by an 'army drone'. No parties have officially taken responsibility for the strike at the time of publication. It comes amid fighting between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces, which first broke out in 2023 and has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands, uprooted at least 11 million and sparked what the UN calls the world's worst hunger and displacement crisis."
