SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Guardian - ‘Patients hid under beds’: Sudan doctors refuse to hand injured protesters to soldiers
The Guardian’s feature piece covers injured protesters following the military coup, with beds reported to be full of dozens of injured in Royal Care hospital, which is close to the military’s headquarters – a key protest site.
Wounded protesters were shot with live ammunition, badly beaten or run over by cars driven into the protesters, as hospital staff say some may never walk again.
A surgeon said that the military asked hospital staff to hand over the wounded, as soldiers from the army and Darfur’s armed movement fired around the hospital, and terrorising doctors with heavy weapons. “Patients had to hide under their beds and seats,” the surgeon said.
And among the 10 reported dead in the attacks, medical staff reported, were two doctors named as Rayan Ali and Mohamed Abdulhaleem.
