Overview

• MSF reports that 70% of Sudan’s medical facilities have closed or are barely functional following sustained violence.
• Save the Children estimates that 933 people were killed in hospital attacks during the first half of 2025, a sixty-fold increase over the same period in 2024.
• The RSF declined to endorse a U.N. ceasefire agreed by the Sudanese army last month and resumed heavy clashes in southern El Fasher this week.
• Repeated assaults forced MSF to cease operations in El Fasher in August 2024 and to withdraw from Zamzam camp in February 2025.
• The collapse of medical care has accelerated cholera outbreaks and worsened famine risks among displaced populations across North Darfur.
