The report contains testimonies detailing targeted ethnic violence against people in Darfur. In Nyala, South Darfur, people described how, in mid-2023, RSF and aligned militia went house to house, looting, beating, and killing people, targeting Masalit and other people of non-Arab ethnicities.
A patient in Nyala, South Darfur, told MSF, “the men were armed with guns and dressed in RSF camouflage… I was stabbed many times and fell to the ground.”
“As they exited my house, they looked at me laying on the ground, I was barely conscious,” says the patient. “I could hear them say ‘he will die, don’t waste your bullets’ as one of them pressed his foot on me.”
Throughout the war, hospitals have been routinely looted and attacked. In June, the World Health Organization said that in hard-to-reach areas only 20 to 30 per cent of health facilities remained functional, and even then at minimal levels. MSF has documented at least 60 incidents of violence and attacks on our staff, assets and infrastructure.
The MSF-supported Al Nao hospital in Omdurman has been shelled on three separate occasions, while a blast caused by an airstrike in May killed two children, after the intensive care unit roof collapsed at the MSF-supported Babiker Nahar paediatric hospital in El Fasher. The hospital was forced to close.
