19/6/2024: Sudan Tribune - RSF shell MSF-backed hospital in Omdurman, killing three, injuring 27

Sudan Tribune report that Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced the death of three people, including a volunteer, and the injury of 27 others following intense artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that struck al-Naw Hospital in Omdurman.

The hospital was previously targeted by the RSF who in recent weeks escalated military operations in areas of northern Omdurman’s Karari locality, entirely under the control of the Sudanese army, continuing to shell civilian sites in the Al-Thawra neighbourhoods. Karari had received numerous displaced individuals from Omdurman and Bahri.

The pro-democracy Ghadboun group mourned the loss of Sharaf Abu Al-Majd, who was killed in the attack on Al Nao Hospital. The young man was known for his active participation in anti-military coup protests and had worked as a volunteer at the hospital for months, providing treatment and assistance to patients.
