DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Some 70 people killed in attack on hospital in besieged city of El Fasher in Sudan, World Health Organization chief says.

Sudanese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan visited its strategic headquarters in central Khartoum on Sunday in his first appearance there since government forces claimed to have broken a months-long siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The integration of community-based health platforms, along with improved emergency preparedness, will ensure that the system can better withstand future crises.

The RSF did not immediately acknowledge the attack in El Fasher, which is over 800 kilometers southwest of Khartoum.

The head of the World Health Organization called on Saturday for an end to attacks on health care workers and facilities in Sudan after a drone attack on a hospital in Sudan's North Darfur region killed more than 70 people and wounded dozens.
