On Saturday, they reported that the El Geneina Teaching Hospital had been looted. In a statement on social media, Deputy Operations Manager for Sudan Sylvain Perron said that"it is utterly unacceptable to see the El Geneina Teaching Hospital and other facilities under attack. We are deeply concerned about the safety of healthcare staff, and our teams in West Darfur."
Without any police or security forces present in the area, the armed militias"invaded the city market and government institutions in an unprecedented manner," he told Sudanese news outletThe Assistant Commissioner for Refugees in Darfur, El Farsha Mujibur El Rahman Yagoub, told Radio Dabanga that at least 20 shelters for the displaced in El Geneina were burned, including the El Zahra Centre, the Sultan Court, the Dar Masalit Centre, and the Ministry of Planning Centre.
In an interview with Radio Dabanga, Yagoub called on the Chadian forces to intervene to evacuate the wounded from El Geneina.One Sudanese refugee was reportedly killed on his farm in the Farchana camp for the displaced in Chad, between Abeche and El Geneina, last Wednesday. "The entire El Geneina market, the state police headquarters, the headquarters of the General Intelligence Service, the Traffic Department, and health facilities were looted" and the El Geneina General Hospital was attacked and looted"all in the sight and hearing of the Armed Forces represented by the 15th Infantry Division, which has renounced its responsibility to protect innocent civilians".
