PORT SUDAN: Attacks by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on one of the last functioning hospitals in the besieged city of El-Fasher killed 20 people within 24 hours, medical sources said on Wednesday.
Those killed included two health workers, their colleagues at El-Fasher Hospital — one of the city’s last functioning health facilities — said.
The RSF is mounting its fiercest assault yet on El-Fasher as it seeks to seize the city from their rivals, the regular army.
Activists say El-Fasher, the last state capital in the vast western region of Darfur to elude the paramilitary’s grasp, has become “an open-air morgue” for starved civilians.
The strikes on Tuesday and Wednesday caused “significant damage to hospital buildings” and wounded a combined 24 people.
