In response to the escalating fighting in North Darfur, Sudan, MSF has treated over 100 war-wounded patients – including 11 children, many with gunshot wounds – at South Hospital, El Fasher, over the past two weeks. We are also simultaneously scaling-up our response to the major malnutrition crisis in Zamzam camp, where the situation is becoming even more critical. As we do so, we call on the warring parties to ensure the protection of civilians, healthcare structures and staff, so that vital assistance for the tens of thousands of people whose lives are at-risk can be effectively provided before it is too late.
