Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned an attack on a hospital in Sudan, attributing the assault to the Rapid Support Forces and calling for immediate respect for international humanitarian principles.
In an official response, the Kingdom emphasized the importance of safeguarding medical facilities and ensuring the protection of civilians, particularly in conflict zones where access to healthcare is critical.
