Breaking: Sudan Drone Strike Kills 64 at El-Daein Hospital in East
At least 64 people, including children and medical personnel, have been killed following a drone strike on the El-Daein teaching hospital in East Darfur, Sudan. The strike, which occurred on March 20, 2026, also wounded 89 others and rendered the facility completely non-functional. While the World Health Organization confirmed the heavy weapons attack, the Sudanese rights group Emergency Lawyers attributed the strike to the Sudanese army. This incident represents one of the most significant attacks on a medical facility since the conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces erupted. The ongoing war has already displaced 11 million people and severely crippled the nation's healthcare infrastructure. United Nations officials have expressed alarm at the increasing use of powerful drones in populated areas, noting that hospitals are frequently caught in the crossfire of this brutal territorial struggle.
