West Kordofan Emergency Committee Urges International Condemnation of Airstrike on Al-Mujlad Hospital and Accountability for Perpetrators

The emergency rooms in West Kordofan State have accused the Sudanese army of launching an airstrike on Al-Mujlad Referral Hospital on Saturday.

The incident was described as an attack on a vital civilian facility that serves as a lifeline for the state’s residents.

According to a statement by the emergency committees, the airstrike resulted in the death of 41 civilians and injured dozens more, including patients and medical staff.

The committees called on international and human rights organizations, as well as the United Nations, to take urgent action to condemn the attack, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure protection for civilians and humanitarian infrastructure across the country.

Just two days earlier, the Sudanese army had announced it had repelled a major offensive by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the 22nd Division in Babnousa.

The city has witnessed ongoing clashes for several months between the army and the RSF, which has been attempting to seize control of the division’s headquarters and the city.
