Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has suspended its activities at the famine-stricken Zamzam displacement camp in Sudan’s North Darfur due to escalating attacks and fighting.
Despite widespread starvation and immense humanitarian needs, MSF made the decision to suspend all activities, including its field hospital, citing the increasingly violent clashes between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
This month, MSF teams treated 139 patients with gunshot and shrapnel wounds in its field hospital, highlighting the dire situation in the camp.
The suspension of MSF’s activities will likely exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the region.
