Last Hospital in Besieged Sudan City Closes

ai generated text

The last functioning hospital in El-Fasher, North Darfur, has been forced to close due to an attack by paramilitary forces. The hospital, supported by Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), had been a key humanitarian hub for the region, which is on the brink of famine. According to reports, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group fired shots and looted the hospital, causing injuries and deaths. Medical staff and patients were targeted in the attack, leaving behind scenes of destruction with abandoned wards, damaged patient beds, and bloodstains on the floor. The closure of the hospital is a significant blow to the region's healthcare system, particularly given the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.

    3. On Saturday, MSF and the ministry of health suspended all activities in South Hospital, El-Fasher, North Darfur, after RSF soldiers stormed the facility, opened fire and looted it, including stealing an MSF ambulance.
    4. Opening fire inside a hospital crosses a line.
