The latest heavy fighting between warring parties along Sudan ’s border with Chad has killed 17 people and left many seriously wounded, a medical group said. Health authorities received 123 wounded people at a newly built hospital, of which 66 arrived in a serious condition, Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF, said in a post on X late Tuesday. The army said in an update that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, had expanded its attacks on military areas in Tina, but that troops were able to repel them and forced them to withdraw. The attacks were part of intensified fighting near the border between the army and the RSF, who have been at war since April 2023. The conflict has killed more than 40,000 people, according to U.N. figures, but aid groups say the true number could be much higher.
