AI Summary
A hospital strike in Sudan killed at least 64 people, according to the World Health Organization. The attack underscores the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan's ongoing conflict, where medical facilities have become increasingly vulnerable to violence. Hospitals are critical infrastructure in war zones, and strikes on them often constitute war crimes under international law. The death toll reflects the broader pattern of attacks on civilian infrastructure that has displaced millions and created severe shortages of medical care across Sudan. The WHO's confirmation adds to mounting evidence of mass casualty incidents in a conflict that has killed tens of thousands and created one of the world's worst humanitarian emergencies.
