Sudan, El Fasher: MSF remains deeply concerned

Doctors without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) still remains deeply concerned about the plight of people caught up in and around El Fasher. ​ In the past ten days, only few thousands people have managed to reach Tawila, far fewer than the 250,000 civilians estimated to be in El Fasher until last month. Reports from those who fled, as well as credible sources, indicate mass killings, indiscriminate violence, and ethnic targeting inside the city and on the roads to escape it.

“At the entrance of Tawila, we have set up a health post to assist people arriving from El Fasher. We screen all children under 5, on October 28th, 100% were malnourished, either severely or moderately. Three siblings arrived alone after losing their entire family in El Fasher.” — Giulia Chiopris, MSF Paediatrician in Tawila, North Darfur
