Humanitarian organizations are raising severe concerns as attacks on healthcare facilities in Sudan become alarmingly frequent amidst ongoing mass atrocities against civilians.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reports that the Sudanese civil war, which erupted in April 2023, has led to 70% of medical facilities closing or operating minimally.
Both MSF and Save the Children highlight the dire circumstances, as attacks on hospitals have significantly increased, complicating access to healthcare for millions of civilians, including children and displaced individuals.
