WHO warns of collapse of Sudan’s health system amid attacks on facilities


The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Saturday that Sudan’s health system is on the brink of collapse due to ongoing attacks that continue to claim the lives of health workers and patients.

Health facilities have faced four attacks during February alone. Three targeted health centres in Kordofan resulted in 30 deaths, while the fourth struck Al-Mazmoum Hospital in Sennar State. All of these incidents were attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

In a post on the X platform, the WHO stated that “attacks continue on the health sector, pushing Sudan’s health system to the edge of collapse.” The organization noted that these attacks result in the death and injury of patients and health workers, in addition to damaging facilities.
