Overview
- WHO reports that repeated strikes began at a kindergarten in Kalogi before hitting a nearby hospital and people rushing wounded children for care.
- Of the 114 people killed, 63 were children, and survivors were transferred to another facility as appeals for medical supplies and blood donations went out.
- Sudan’s Foreign Ministry and medical groups accuse the Rapid Support Forces of using drones, while the RSF has not responded to the latest claims and has previously denied targeting civilians.
- Independent verification remains difficult because of communication blackouts and insecurity, with earlier tallies ranging from about 79 deaths locally to UNICEF confirming more than ten child fatalities at the school itself.
- UNICEF condemned the attack and called for safe humanitarian access as the UN human rights chief warns of escalating risks to civilians in Kordofan following recent RSF advances.
