BBC Finds Evidence of Systematic Destruction of el-Fasher's Healthcare
The BBC reports it has found evidence that Sudanese paramilitary fighters systematically destroyed el-Fasher's healthcare system during their long siege and subsequent takeover of the city in Darfur a year ago.
UN human rights chief Volker Türk called the findings deeply disturbing, saying multiple RSF attacks on civilian infrastructure, including health facilities, were serious violations of international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes.
The RSF has rejected the BBC's findings.

The scale is what makes the finding hard to ignore: the BBC says it has details of at least 43 separate attacks on hospitals and healthcare sites between May 2024 and October 2025.
A count alone does not settle motive, and the RSF's health minister frames the allegations as propaganda and a deliberate attempt by the national army and its allies to smear the group's reputation.
