WHO Says 114 Killed in Strikes on Sudan Kindergarten and Hospital in South Kordofan

UNICEF condemns the school bombing as a grave violation of children’s rights.

Overview

  • The World Health Organization reported at least 114 deaths, including 63 children, from December 4 attacks in Kalogi that hit a kindergarten, a hospital and people rushing to help.
  • Local medical networks earlier counted at least 50 dead with 33 children, and they said paramedics were struck in a second attack at the scene.
  • Emergency Lawyers, a human-rights group, blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the Kalogi strikes, calling them a breach of international humanitarian law.
  • The RSF has not issued a specific comment on Kalogi while it accuses the Sudanese army of a separate drone strike at the Adre border crossing, which has not been independently verified.
  • Fighting has intensified across Kordofan, with the RSF announcing the capture of the Heglig oil field and an engineer confirming production was halted and staff evacuated.
