In the Saudi Maternity Hospital in the city of El Fasher, Sudan, 460 people lost their lives in a massacre. This incident occurred immediately after more than 2,000 civilians were killed by paramilitary rebels within two days.
The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that this maternity hospital, the last remaining hospital in El Fasher, has been "attacked for the fourth time in a month, resulting in the death of one nurse and injuries to three healthcare workers."
Two days later, a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) kidnapped six healthcare workers, including four doctors, one nurse, and one pharmacist. It was reported that more than 460 patients and their companions in the hospital were shot dead.
Images from the hospital reveal scattered bodies among the rubble and destroyed equipment. Dr. Suhiba said, "Intense bombardment began while I was performing surgery. A mortar shell hit the building. The woman's wounds were open, and everyone was running around me."
The United Forces, affiliated with the army, announced that the RSF killed more than 2,000 unarmed civilians on October 26-27, most of whom were women, children, and the elderly. Satellite images show evidence of mass killings; objects the size of bodies were seen near vehicles and the sandbanks established by the RSF around the city.
Videos shared by local activists show RSF militants forcing unarmed civilians to sit on the ground and shooting them at close range, while one video depicts an adult being executed by a child soldier.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an immediate end to military conflicts in Sudan following the massacre at the maternity hospital. International forces are struggling to halt the conflict despite months of negotiations.
RSF leader Mohammad Hamdan Daglo stated that the country would "unite through peace or war." Currently, while the RSF controls a large part of West Sudan, the regular army has established dominance in the northern, eastern, and central regions.
More than 33,000 people fleeing from El Fasher have sought refuge in the town of Tawila in the west, where over 650,000 displaced people currently reside. The war in Sudan has led to tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions.
