El Daein — On Tuesday, the Sudanese army launched airstrikes on several areas in Darfur, killing and wounding dozens of civilians, and destroying parts of El Daein Teaching Hospital.
The airstrikes targeted the cities of Al Fashir — where four were killed — and Al Tawisha in North Darfur, in addition to the El Daein, the capital of East Darfur State.
Activists on social media circulated videos showing the impact of the airstrike and the bodies of dead civilians, in addition to flames rising from straw houses in the Al-Tawisha area in North Darfur.
Darfur Victims Support condemned the bombing of the Sudanese army’s warplanes saying that the bombing destroyed the El Daein Teaching Hospital, and targeted other civilian areas within the city.
In a post on social media site X, the civil society organization called on the United Nations Security Council to activate a no-fly zone in Sudan, and the Darfur region in particular.
The head of the Sudan Liberation Movement, Hasab Al-Nabi Mahmoud Hasab al-Nabi, denounced the warplanes targeting hospitals and schools in Darfur, and noted that strikes had hit the cities of Mellit and Al-Maliha last week.
