The Iran War understandably dominates the headlines, but don't forget the tragedy that continues to unfold in Sudan, the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
.@WHO has verified yet another attack on health care in #Sudan. This time, Al Deain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur’s capital, Al Deain, was struck, killing at least 64 people, including 13 children, two female nurses, one male doctor, and multiple patients. As a result of this tragedy, the total number of fatalities linked to attacks on health facilities during Sudan’s war has now surpassed 2000. Over the nearly three-year conflict, WHO has confirmed that 2036 people have been killed in 213 attacks on health care, including Friday night’s strike in Al Deain. This latest attack also injured 89 people, including eight health staff, and damaged the hospital’s pediatric, maternity, and emergency departments. In total, more than 720 people have been injured in attacks on health care during the war to date. Beyond the devastating human toll, attacks on health care have immediate and long-term consequences for communities already in desperate need of both emergency and routine medical services. Al Deain Teaching Hospital is currently non-functional due to the extensive damage caused by the attack, resulting in a critical interruption of essential medical services. WHO is supporting local health partners to help fill urgent gaps by scaling up capacity at other health facilities. This includes strengthening primary health care services to provide outpatient, pediatric, and obstetric care; increasing capacity to treat the injured; and deploying trauma care supplies and essential medicines. Enough blood has been spilled. Enough suffering has been inflicted. The time has come to de-escalate the conflict in Sudan and ensure the protection of civilians, health workers, and humanitarians. Health care should never be a target. Peace is the best medicine.

The horrors in Darfur’s El-Fasher were no accident — they were the RSF's plan all along. The RSF has waged terror and committed unspeakable atrocities, genocide among them, against the Sudanese people. The RSF must be called what it is: a foreign terrorist organization and officially designated as one. America is not safer, secure or more prosperous with the RSF slaughtering thousands.

Yet another atrocity in El Fasher, where a drone strike killed dozens of worshippers in a mosque this morning. The dead included a doctor who spoke to The Times only last week, describing dire conditions as R.S.F. fighters tighten a brutal siege. nytimes.com/2025/09/19/world…

For a brief moment, the world heard of #Tarsin village in Darfur after a deadly landslide. Ayin, with Sudan SawaSawa, reached the remote area to hear the voices of residents and capture exclusive footage. Read/watch more:youtu.be/b4FCk1Qgmds?si=CLk4… #Sudan #Darfur #AyinReports

After two years of trying, we finally made it to North Darfur. We went to camps sheltering thousands of people who risked their lives to escape the RSF's suffocating siege on Al Fashir. They shared horror story after horror story of RSF torture. news.sky.com/story/sudan-war…

The humanitarian crisis in North Darfur is worsening as violence & displacement escalate. The UN & humanitarian partners urgently call on all parties involved to respect International Humanitarian Law, protect civilians, and ensure unimpeded humanitarian access.

Sudan's military has retaken the presidential palace in Khartoum, two years after R.S.F. paramilitaries seized at the start of Sudan's devastating civil war. A key symbolic victory as the military seeks to retake the entire city. More to come from me @ivorprickett & @AAltayb
