Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) denounces the mass atrocities and killings in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, Sudan. The attacks were both indiscriminate and ethnically targeted. MSF fears that large numbers of people remain in grave danger and are being prevented by the Rapid Support Forces and its allies from reaching safer areas like nearby Tawila, where we work.
In response to the violence, MSF teams set up a health post at the entrance to Tawila and are scaling up our emergency care, surgical care, and other services in the Tawila Hospital. We are treating patients for gunshot wounds, fractures, and injuries related to beatings and torture. Our teams are also treating patients with infected wounds or complications from surgical procedures performed in El Fasher, where they had little to no access to medical supplies and drugs.
In Sudan, Gaza, Afghanistan, and other humanitarian crises around the world, your support enables us to respond where the needs are greatest. Rush a donation to MSF today to help us continue providing medical care for people enduring emergencies around the world. |

El Fasher was home to 260,000 people as of late August. In the past few days, just over 5,000 people managed to make their way to Tawila. They shared their experience of seeing massacres and spoke of people who remain trapped and face extreme violence. Most of the people arriving in Tawila are women, children, and the elderly, many of whom are suffering from catastrophic levels of malnutrition. On October 27 alone, our teams treated 70 children under 5 years old—all of whom were acutely malnourished.
“Between October 26 and October 29, we received 396 injured people and treated over 700 new arrivals from El Fasher in a dedicated hospital emergency room,” said Dr. Livia Tampellini, MSF’s deputy head of emergencies. “Given the state of people who escaped and made it barely alive to Tawila, it’s clear that they are in urgent need of medical and nutritional care, psychosocial assistance, shelter, water, and humanitarian assistance in general.”
MSF has been treating those in need across Sudan since before the war broke out in 2023. We remain one of the few international organizations working in Sudan. In 2025 alone, MSF carried out more than 530,589 outpatient consultations, 14,666 deliveries, and 5,589 individual mental health consultations.
Even in the face of overwhelming challenges, MSF remains committed to providing lifesaving care in Sudan, Gaza, Afghanistan, and other emergencies around the world. But we still need your help. Can we count on you to donate now to fuel MSF’s efforts to provide medical care for people facing some of the world’s most challenging crises? |
