MSF humanitarian response to attack in Khartoum, Sudan. 54 killed and several injured.
On the morning of 1 February, an RSF explosive hit a market in Omdurman, Khartoum state, causing a scene of devastation at the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) supported Al Nao hospital as patients, dead bodies and family members arrived at the hospital.
The Ministry of Health said the attack killed 54 people and injured 158. Medics working in Al Nao hospital described a dreadful scene with men and women, young and old, being brought in for treatment.
MSF General Secretary Chris Lockyear was in Al Nao hospital as patients started arriving after this atrocious attack.
“I can see the lives of men, women and children torn apart with injured people lying in every possible space in the emergency room as medics do what they can. There are dozens and dozens of people with devastating injuries, the morgue is full of dead bodies.
What I see in front of me is a scene of utter carnage, yet another tragic example of this relentless war on people.”
