Drones also struck the Kalogi rural hospital where the injured were getting treated and a government facility on Dec. 4. At least 116 people were killed, 63 of them children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no respect for human life in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/10\/thousands-of-civilians-trapped-in-besieged-city-in-sudans-civil-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this war<\/a>.
