Overview
- WHO condemned reports that more than 460 patients and companions were shot inside El‑Fasher’s Saudi Maternity Hospital, which it said was the city’s last partially functioning facility.
- Health workers were targeted, with a nurse killed, three staff wounded on Sunday, and six medics abducted on Tuesday, according to WHO.
- Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab said satellite imagery corroborates mass killings at the Saudi Maternity Hospital and points to another potential mass killing at a former children’s hospital detention site.
- Tens of thousands have fled since the RSF takeover, with UN and aid groups citing 33,000–36,000 arrivals toward Tawila and warning that unusually few reaching safety suggests many are trapped or harmed en route.
- UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres and the ICRC called for an immediate end to hostilities and protection of civilians, as RSF control across Darfur hardens and Sudan’s military expels two senior WFP officials, further complicating aid access.
