Khartoum: Rhino – On Thursday, the Ministry of Health of Sudan’s Transitional Government sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General, the World Health Organization, the Presidency of the UN Security Council, and the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court regarding the systematic targeting of medical facilities in Darfur and Kordofan.

The Ministry stated that the drone attacks targeting Al-Nahud Referral Hospital (April 9, 2026), Abu Zabad Hospital in West Kordofan (April 6, 2026), and Al-Da’ein Teaching Emergency Hospital (March 20, 2026), resulting in dozens of civilian deaths and injuries, constitute a grave violation of international humanitarian law and amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Ministry of Health called on the World Health Organization to conduct an independent international investigation and document violations against the health sector. It also urged the Security Council to open an urgent investigation and impose sanctions on those responsible for these attacks, and urged the International Criminal Court to open an immediate investigation and prosecute those involved.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to protecting civilians and health facilities, stressing that the continued targeting of hospitals threatens to collapse Sudan’s health system and requires urgent international action to ensure accountability and protect medical facilities.
