South Hospital in Al-Fashir Closes After Paramilitary Attack
Jun 10, 2024, 08:56 AM
The last civilian hospital in Al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur, Sudan, has been forced to close following a paramilitary attack. The hospital, known as South Hospital, was the only facility with surgical capacity in the region and has been overwhelmed by the influx of patients, most of whom are women and children. The closure has placed immense pressure on the remaining two hospitals, which are now operating beyond their capacity. Karin Huster, a medical coordinator with Doctors Without Borders, highlighted the dire situation, noting the significant impact on access to life-saving services. The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep concern over the attack and its consequences for the local population.
