The article discusses the unprecedented escalation of attacks on healthcare facilities in conflict-affected areas around the world during 2026. It reports that over 900 attacks have been documented since the beginning of the year, resulting in the death of at least 900 people and injuries to more than 1,400 others. In Sudan, the health situation has severely deteriorated due to the ongoing war that began in April 2023, with 37% of the country’s health facilities closed. Hospitals and ambulances have been targeted and subjected to violence, exacerbating shortages of medicines and electricity, and destroying buildings. The conflict has claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people and injured hundreds more. About 21 million Sudanese are facing a lack of healthcare services amid the spread of diseases and malnutrition, with rising cases of infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
