The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked a hospital south of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, on Sunday, firing on medical staff and patients, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said in a statement.
The attack caused the closure of Darfur’s main hospital.
The southern hospital was the only hospital in El Fasher capable of dealing with what the organisation described as daily incidents in which large numbers of people are killed and wounded due to fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF.
The city is located in the Darfur region in northwestern Sudan and is home to more than 1.8 million residents and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

It is the latest front in the fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF that has been ongoing since April 2023.
