Thousands have fled the Sudanese city in terror with stories of the Rapid Support Forces attacking and killing civilians

• Hundreds reportedly killed at Sudanese hospital as evidence of RSF atrocities mounts

Nawal Khalil had been volunteering as a nurse for three years at El Fasher South hospital when the Sudanese city was captured on Sunday by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). She was busy treating patients, including an elderly woman who needed a blood transfusion, when the attack began.

“They killed six wounded soldiers and civilians in their beds – some of them women,” she says. “I don’t know what happened to my other patients. I had to run when they stormed the hospital.”
