Sudan's army has denied responsibility for the drone attack on el-Daein Teaching Hospital, while the RSF claims an army drone was responsible. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged all parties involved to cease hostilities, highlighting the repeated targeting of health facilities during this near three-year-long conflict. With ongoing humanitarian crises, including the displacement of nearly a third of the population, the situation remains dire with no resolution in sight.
