18/1/2021: Radio Dabanga – More than 80 killed in attacks on West Darfur

 Radio Dabanga’s report on the attacks that killed more than  80 in al-Geneina notes that the West Darfur Doctors Committee says that the curfew imposed to contain the situation is impeding medical services, which are already complicated by dire local health facilities.

The Committee reported a shortage of doctors and nurses, equipment, anaesthesia and medicines, medical staff, blood donors, and obstacles reaching “the few hospitals in the town” due restricted movement. They urged the authorities “to secure the health facilities in the town and provide guarded transport for medical personnel to reach the hospitals and clinics in the town, as well as the wounded stranded in the areas that were attacked, and to deliver medical supplies to the treatment centres”.

Relatives of the victims and members of the Resistance Committees demand the urgent dispatch of doctors, nurses, and medicines, and the speedy transfer of the seriously wounded people to Khartoum.
