29 July 2024, Port Sudan, Sudan – WHO is appalled by the increasing attacks on health care in Sudan, with 22 such attacks verified in the last 8 weeks alone. Attacks on health care are deplorable and a violation of international humanitarian law. Access to health care is already severely constrained in Sudan due to the war that has been raging for over a year.

Since the war erupted in April 2023, WHO has verified 88 attacks on health care – including on health facilities, ambulances and transport, assets, patients and health workers – resulting in 55 deaths and 104 injuries. Among these, the 22 attacks on health care verified since 1 June 2024 led to the deaths of 16 health workers and patients, including children, and injuries to 56 people.
