    The agency indicated that 37%of health facilities across Sudan’s 18 states are no longer operational, asrepeated attacks on hospitals, ambulances, patients, and medical staff haveseverely limited access to care, particularly in conflict zones.

    “The war in Sudan isdevastating lives and denying people their most basic rights, including health,water, food and safety. The health system has been crippled, leaving millionswithout essential health care,” WHODirector-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus noted.

    Conditions remain especiallysevere in Darfur and Kordofan, where ongoing fighting has displaced communitiesand restricted humanitarian access. WHO cited a recent attack on El DaeinTeaching Hospital in East Darfur that killed at least 64 people and forced thefacility out of service, renewing calls for safe and unrestricted humanitarianaccess, protection of healthcare infrastructure, sustained funding, and an endto the conflict.
