Overview

• MSF reports that systematic assaults on medical sites have closed or disabled 70% of Sudan’s clinics and hospitals, severely hampering care during cholera and malnutrition outbreaks
• Save the Children says attacks on hospitals nearly tripled in the first half of 2025, resulting in at least 933 deaths and marking a 60-fold increase from the same period last year
• El Fasher’s lone functioning surgical facility now bears the burden of critical operations for more than one million people under constant threat of shelling
• The Sudanese Armed Forces accepted a U.N. proposal for a week-long ceasefire last month but the RSF never agreed and has escalated clashes in southern El Fasher this week
• MSF’s new report details mass atrocities in El Fasher and Zamzam camp, including ethnic targeting, looting, mass killings and a siege that displaced over 400,000 people
