The attack is the latest in the conflict between Sudan’s military and the rebel Rapid Support Forces.<\/p>\n
The RSF has blamed the military for the strike, which was in RSF territory.<\/p>\n
The army has denied the attack, but two officials told the Associated Press news agency that a strike was targeting a nearby police station.<\/p>\n
“Enough blood has been spilled. Enough suffering has been inflicted,” wrote Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the WHO on X.<\/p>\n
“The time has come to de-escalate the conflict in Sudan and ensure the protection of civilians, health workers, and humanitarians.”<\/p>\n
