Sudanese RSF militia killed many civilians at el-Fasher hospital, WHO chief and doctors say
In a disturbing turn of events, the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia has been accused of killing numerous civilians at el-Fasher hospital, according to reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) chief and local doctors.
The incident took place on Thursday, August 12, at el-Fasher hospital in Sudan. Witnesses and medical staff reported that RSF militia members stormed the hospital, targeting patients and medical personnel. The attack resulted in the deaths of several civilians, with many more injured.
The WHO chief condemned the attack, labeling it as a gross violation of international humanitarian law. He called for an immediate investigation into the matter and urged the Sudanese authorities to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
On the other hand, the RSF militia has denied any involvement in the attack, stating that they were not present at the hospital during the reported time of the incident. They have called the accusations baseless and accused the opposition groups of spreading false information to tarnish their reputation.
Local doctors at el-Fasher hospital have corroborated the reports of the attack, detailing the chaos and violence that unfolded during the militia’s incursion. They have called for increased security measures to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff in the region.
