Bomb Puts El Fasher Paediatric Hospital Out of Action Amid Intense Escalation in Fighting Between Saf and RSF: Two Children KilledOn the evening of Saturday 11 May, an airstrike carried out by the SAF landed 50 metres from Babiker Nahar Paediatric Hospital, which is supported by Médecins Sans Frontières , in El Fasher, North Darfur.
Saturday's incident came after heavy fighting between the RSF and SAF/Joint Forces in North Darfur on Friday 10 May, when 160 wounded people - including 31 women and 19 children - arrived at the MSF-supported South Hospital in El Fasher. 25 of these wounded were in a terminal condition upon arrival and passed away.
MSF is making an urgent call to all warring parties to protect civilians and ensure the protection of health structures, as they are obligated to do under International Humanitarian Law, and the Jeddah declaration - signed exactly one year ago on the day that the hospital was damaged and the children and caregiver were killed.There was a problem processing your submission.
