Overview
- WHO’s Attacks on Health Care system reports three December 4 strikes in Kalogi that hit a kindergarten and the nearby rural hospital, with responders attacked during evacuations and 35 people injured.
- Local authorities, the Sudan Doctors’ Network and the army accuse the Rapid Support Forces of carrying out the drone strikes, while independent verification remains difficult because of access and communication constraints.
- The UN secretary-general called for protection of civilians and unimpeded relief, noting that targeting schools and hospitals may breach humanitarian law, and reported an aid convoy strike in North Kordofan that injured a WFP driver.
- WFP warned of a massive hunger crisis with severe access constraints in Kordofan and Darfur, as famine has been confirmed in locations including Kadugli and humanitarian needs outstrip current assistance.
- Medical advocates reported documented cases of rape against women fleeing El-Fasher and urged urgent international action, reinforcing concerns about wider abuses linked to the conflict’s expansion into Kordofan.
