Khartoum, October 8 (Xinhua) — At least 12 people were killed and 17 others wounded on Wednesday when the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Force (RIF) shelled a major hospital in the western Sudanese city of El Fasher, volunteer organizations reported.
The Sudanese Doctors Network (SDN) stated in a statement that direct artillery fire on El Fasher Hospital resulted in the deaths of medical personnel on duty. The organization called the attack a "full-fledged war crime" and placed full responsibility on the SDN, calling on the international community to intervene to protect the city's medical facilities.
The Coordination of Resistance Committees in El Fasher, in turn, clarified that the Saudi Specialized Hospital for Obstetrics and Gynecology, the only functioning medical facility in the city, came under intense shelling, “resulting in the death and injury of civilians, including children and the elderly.”
According to local sources, the hospital has been a regular target of the SBR strikes during recent attacks.
The SBR has not yet commented on the latest incident.
Since May 2024, fierce clashes have been ongoing in El Fasher between the Sudanese Armed Forces and their allies, on the one hand, and the RRF, on the other. In recent days, the intensity of the fighting has significantly increased.
Sudan remains engulfed in a massive conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF that began in April 2023. Since then, fighting has claimed tens of thousands of lives and forced millions to flee their homes, exacerbating the country's humanitarian crisis.
