Sudanese RSF Forces Shell Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher Killing Forty
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a devastating artillery strike on the Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher on June 14, 2026, the city's last functional medical facility. At least 40 people, including newborn infants and medical staff, were killed in the bombardment. The attack marks a grim milestone in the 18-month siege of the North Darfur capital. UN humanitarian officials have reported that thousands are attempting to flee the city's ruins, though RSF encirclement has blocked major escape routes.
