The Chief of the World Health Organization stated that 70 people were killed in an attack on the only functional hospital in the besieged city of El Fasher in Sudan.
Saudi Arabia described the attack as a “violation of international law and international humanitarian law.”
According to the Foreign Ministry statement, the Kingdom emphasized its rejection of such violations and stressed the crucial need to protect health and humanitarian workers.
Therefore, it called for practice of “self-restraint” and avoidance of “targeting civilians.”
Furthermore, the Kingdom called for adherence to the commitments made in the Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan.
Crucially, it was unclear which of warring sides in Sudan had launched this deadly attack.
The conflict in Sudan has sparked a disastrous humanitarian crisis that badly impacted the Sudanese people. The war caused the death of tens of thousands and displacement of more than 12 million.
