The latest from Doctors without Borders (MSF):
─────
After over a year of violent incidents both inside and outside the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)-supported Turkish Hospital in Khartoum, Sudan – including threats made against the lives of MSF staff – MSF has taken the decision to evacuate our team from the hospital. This decision has not been taken lightly.
[...]
"Our team was aggressively woken up as Kalashnikovs were fired into their bedrooms... This type of violence against our staff is unacceptable."
Claire Nicolet,
head of MSF’s emergency response in Sudan
[...]
Bashair Teaching hospital in Khartoum, also supported by MSF, has faced multiple armed incursions over the past few months as well, and between October 2023 and January 2024, MSF was forced to suspend surgery in the hospital. MSF continues to work in this hospital in spite of these incidents. The security situation across the board has deteriorated significantly, and in Khartoum especially.
