Thirteen killed as hospital shelled in besieged Sudan city

At least 13 people have been killed after an attack on one of the last remaining hospitals in el-Fasher, a Sudanese city trapped under siege. Sixteen others, including a doctor and nurse, were injured after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shelled Saudi hospital several times on Tuesday night, a source there told the BBC. A group of Sudanese medics has called the attack a war crime. Pictures showed shattered windows, cracks from shrapnel, a gaping hole in the mud-brick wall and twisted metal from hospital beds covering the floor. The RSF has been besieging el-Fasher for more than 17 months, leaving hundreds of thousands of people stuck in the city, facing starvation. The paramilitary group is fighting the army for full control of el-Fasher, the last military stronghold in the vast Darfur region.
