The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched an assault on South Hospital in al-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, forcing its closure, according to an international aid group.

In a statement, Doctors Without Borders revealed that the RSF fired shots at medical staff and patients, resulting in significant damage and causing the remaining medical facilities in the city to be overstretched. Images shared by local media displayed the hospital's abandoned wards with damaged equipment and blood stains.

Michel Lacharite, head of emergency operations at Doctors Without Borders, condemned the RSF's actions. 'Opening fire inside a hospital is a severe violation,' he stated. Amid the attack, most patients and medical staff managed to escape.
