The worst-ever massacre at a hospital in el‑Fasher has shocked Sudan and the world. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 500 patients, their relatives and others many seeking desperately needed care were killed when fighters from Rapid Support Forces overran the city’s last functioning hospital.
Witness testimonies and satellite imagery suggest the attack involved mass shootings and abductions of medical staff. The slaughter marks the latest in a brutal campaign that has systematically targeted hospitals, clinics and medical workers across war-torn Sudan.
