After health facilities in Sudan were bombed, and many hospitals were targeted and ceased operations due to a lack of medical supplies, social media shared an old photo of singer Umm Kulthum during her visit to a maternity hospital in Khartoum on the morning of her second concert. In 1968, dozens of girls were named after her as a tribute.
On the morning of her second concert in Sudan, which also coincided with her birthday on December 30, 1968, Umm Kulthum visited the maternity hospital in Khartoum after she learned that several mothers had named their daughters "Umm Kulthum" in her honor. At the hospital, Umm Kulthum passed by 14 baby girls.
