A devastating attack on a Sudanese kindergarten has resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people, including many children, amid intensified fighting in the nation's civil war. As parents and caregivers rushed the wounded to a nearby hospital, the violence continued, reportedly involving heavy weapons deployed along the conflict's frontlines.

According to the World Health Organization, the December 4 assaults on South Kordofan included multiple strikes on a kindergarten, with disturbing reports of paramedics and responders being targeted. Sudan's Foreign Ministry attributed the attacks to the Rapid Support Forces employing drone technology.

The situation remains critical, with survivors now relocated for further medical care. International figures, including WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, continue to plead for urgent medical support and blood donations as the humanitarian crisis deepens.
