K-pop singers BTS’s debut concert in almost four years drew over 100,000 people, according to their label on Sunday. This was a lower turnout than anticipated for the eagerly awaited event in central Seoul.
After a years-long break due to mandatory military service, the seven members of the group—some of whom were stationed close to the heavily guarded border with North Korea—took the stage together for the first time.
Thousands of fans from South Korea and beyond sang along to the comeback concert, which took place on Saturday against the backdrop of the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace, perfect for the “Kings of K-pop”.
Sudanese rights group Emergency Lawyers reported that the hospital was hit by an army drone strike.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces dominate the vast Darfur region in western Sudan, while Sudan’s army is in control of the east, centre and north.
Tedros said eight health staff were among the wounded in Friday’s attack, which damaged the hospital’s paediatric, maternity and emergency departments.
The hospital is now non-functional “due to the extensive damage”, he said, which resulted in a “critical interruption of essential medical services”.
Tedros said the WHO was supporting local health partners to help fill urgent gaps by scaling up capacity at other health facilities, including by increasing capacity to treat the injured, and deploying trauma care supplies and essential medicines.
