The last operational hospital in Al-Fashir, Sudan, supported by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was raided and looted by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.
RSF stole medical supplies and an ambulance, causing the hospital to suspend operations and transfer patients to unprepared facilities.
The attack caused chaos inside the hospital, forcing staff and patients to flee.
Conflict in Darfur has intensified with clashes between RSF, the national army, and rebel factions.
The EU and UN have condemned the attack, warning of escalating violence and the risk of famine for 1.8 million people in El Fasher.
The RSF's targeting of civilians and medical facilities has led to widespread suffering and displacements in Darfur.
The international community has called for an end to the violence to prevent further humanitarian crises.
