130 people die at Sudan hospital amid city siege
Over 130 people have died at a single hospital in Sudan's besieged city of El Fasher, in the Darfur region, according to medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

El Fasher is the last major urban centre in Darfur that remains in the hands of Sudan's army.
The army has been fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for more than a year, in a civil war that has killed thousands and forced millions from their homes.
...
Earlier this week, a UN expert warned civilians in El Fasher were being targeted because of their ethnicity.
Special adviser Alice Wairimu Nderitu added that the Darfur region as a whole was facing a growing risk of genocide as the world's attention remained focused on conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.
