Sudan paramilitary group attacked and looted a health facility, says aid group
THE notorious Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, fighting Sudan’s military for over a year, attacked and looted a health facility in the western region of Darfur, an international aid group said today.
The RSF attacked the South Hospital in al-Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur province on Sunday, opening fire on medical staff and patients, Doctors Without Borders said in a statement.
This came as the RSF intensified its offensive to win control of the city, the military’s last stronghold in the sprawling Darfur region.
