Türkiye condemns attack on Saudi hospital in Sudan

We remain committed to supporting steps that will enable the establishment of peace and stability in Sudan,

the ministry said

At the time of the attack, the hospital was packed with patients receiving care,

the World Health Organization said in a statement

This attack resulted in the death and injury of several people, violating international and humanitarian laws,

It exterminated all the patients who were inside it.”

Darfur Governor Mini Minnawi blamed the RSF for the hospital attack, saying

More than 70 civilians receiving treatment, most of them women and children, were victims of the massacre when the militia attacked the hospital’s accident department with drones,

Above all, Sudan's people need peace. The best medicine is peace,

As the only functional hospital in El Fasher, the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital provides services which include gyn-obstetrics, internal medicine, surgery and pediatrics, along with a nutrition stabilization center,

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posted on X after the Friday strike

The women refugees I spoke to in a World Food Programme tent had lived through the killing of their husbands and brothers. One had burns on her arms; another was beaten while she was pregnant, leaving her baby disabled. They asked me: what is the world doing to help us? What more will the world do to stop this senseless killing and death?”

He wrote

The attack comes at a time when access to health care is already severely constrained in the state due to the closure of health facilities following intense bombardments,

he said

We continue to call for a cessation of all attacks on health care in Sudan, and to allow full access for the swift restoration of the facilities that have been damaged,
