Sudan Kindergarten Attack: 100+ Dead in Drone Strikes
8 Dec
Summary
- Over 100 people, including 63 children, died in recent attacks.
- Sudan's Foreign Ministry blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the assault.
- Paramedics and responders were attacked while aiding the wounded.
Recent attacks on a kindergarten in South Kordofan state, Sudan, have resulted in the deaths of over 100 individuals, including 63 children. The World Health Organization detailed that the assaults occurred on December 4, with heavy weapons and drones reportedly used. The situation tragically escalated as paramedics and responders were targeted while trying to transfer the injured from the kindergarten to a hospital.
Sudan's Foreign Ministry has condemned these attacks, specifically implicating the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in carrying them out. The RSF has not yet issued an immediate response but has previously denied harming civilians and pledged accountability for any violations by its forces. The death toll tragically includes many children from the initial strike, with parents and medical personnel later becoming victims.
Survivors of the devastating attacks have since been relocated to a different hospital. In response to the ongoing crisis and dire need for medical assistance, urgent appeals have been made for blood donations and essential medical support. Health facilities in Sudan continue to face significant risks near conflict frontlines.
