The city in the Darfur region is home to more than 1.8 million residents and displaced people, and is the latest front in a war between the Sudanese army and the RSF which began in April 2023.
CAIRO, June 9 - The main hospital in Sudan's al-Fashir city has been attacked by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and put out of service, Doctors Without Borders , which supports the facility, told Reuters on Sunday.
From May 10 to June 6, some 1,315 wounded arrived at the facility and 208 people have died there, but many people are not able to reach the hospital due to the fighting, MSF told Reuters. The hospital had previously started evacuating patients after being impacted by fighting three times since May 25, and the remaining patients and staff were able to flee.
An eyewitness told Reuters he saw people evacuating the hospital, and other eyewitnesses said the RSF had launched missiles at the hospital and its vicinity.
