Evidence Points to Deliberate RSF Attacks on Hospitals in Sudan’s El Fasher

An investigation has uncovered evidence indicating that fighters from Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces deliberately targeted hospitals and systematically destroyed the healthcare system in El Fasher, in the Darfur region.

The findings concern the RSF’s prolonged siege of the city and its eventual capture a year ago. They point to a pattern of destruction affecting healthcare throughout that period.

The evidence suggests that the damage to hospitals was not simply incidental to the fighting, but part of a deliberate assault on the city’s medical infrastructure.

The reported destruction places the fate of El Fasher’s healthcare system at the centre of scrutiny over the RSF’s conduct during the siege and takeover. It also raises questions about the protection of medical facilities during the conflict.
