BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pictures showed shattered windows, cracks from shrapnel, a gaping hole in the mud-brick wall and twisted metal from hospital beds covering the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A group of Sudanese medics has called the attack a war crime. The RSF has been besieging el-Fasher for more than 17 months, leaving hundreds of thousands of people stuck in the city facing starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The paramilitary group is fighting the army for full control of el-Fasher, the last military stronghold in the vast Darfur region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the second strike on the Saudi hospital this year – the first in January killed three children and injured three others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest shelling ripped through part of the hospital, destroying wards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent weeks, the RSF has intensified its assault on the city, leading experts to believe the city could soon fall unless the army receives immediate reinforcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two sides have been engaged in a ferocious civil war for more than two years, causing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and tens of thousands of deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incessant fighting in el-Fasher has forced most health facilities to shut. Aid convoys carrying food and healthcare have been blocked from reaching civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“After over 500 days of unremitting siege by the RSF and incessant fighting, El Fasher is on the precipice of an even greater catastrophe if urgent measures are not taken [to] loosen the armed vice upon the city and to protect civilians,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk said last Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
