WHO Says Kalogi Kindergarten and Hospital Strikes Killed 114, Including 63 Children

The WHO issued the highest death toll yet for the Kalogi strikes, providing the most authoritative count so far.

Overview

  • The WHO reported 114 people killed and 35 injured in Kalogi, saying the strikes also targeted rescuers and health infrastructure.
  • Local authorities said a kindergarten was hit first, followed by a hospital, in the army-held town in South Kordofan.
  • Kalogi’s administrative chief blamed the RSF and allied SPLM-N for the drone attacks, a claim not independently verified.
  • Earlier figures varied widely, including 79 deaths with 43 children reported by Sudan’s foreign ministry and more than 100 cited by the African Union.
  • Humanitarian agencies flagged worsening risks, with the WFP reporting an attack on a relief truck and the RSF accusing the army of blocking aid and striking the Adre crossing.
