A man who escaped the last functioning hospital in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher before a reported massacre by paramilitary troops says he has lost all hope and happiness.
"I have lost my colleagues," Abdu-Rabbu Ahmed, a laboratory technician at the Saudi Maternity Hospital, has told the BBC.
"I have lost the people whose faces I used to see smiling... It feels as if you lost a big part of your body or your soul."
He has been speaking to us from a displaced persons camp in Tawila some 70km (43 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, the regional hub which was taken over by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the last week of October after an 18-month siege.
The RSF has been fighting the Sudanese army since April 2023, when a power struggle between their leaders erupted into a civil war.
