Sudan's army and the RSF have been locked in conflict for 20 months, creating a profound humanitarian crisis that has reportedly driven more than 12 million people from their homes and killed tens of thousands. The RSF, in particular, have repeatedly attacked hospitals and other civilian facilities, according to media reports.
A hospital in al-Fashir, North Darfur,
Sudan, was attacked on Friday, resulting in at least nine deaths and twenty injuries, according to media reports, citing a health official and civilian activists.
The rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are blamed for the attack, which involved a drone strike that reportedly launched four missiles, severely damaging wards and other hospital facilities.
The attack comes amid the ongoing 20-month conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army, a conflict that has created a
major humanitarian crisis affecting over 12 million displaced people, according to UN data.
Al-Fashir is a key battleground, and an RSF victory there is feared to unleash further ethnic violence, similar to events in West Darfur last year, according to media reports.
The situation is reportedly further exacerbated by RSF attacks on the nearby Zamzam refugee camp, home to over half a million people
facing famine conditions. RSF artillery fire over the past two weeks has forced thousands to flee the UN-run camp.
The Sudanese army has responded with airstrikes targeting RSF positions in the area.
