THE healthcare system in a western city of Sudan has “totally collapsed,” a doctors’ union warned today, as thousands of people continue to attempt to flee the country.
The city of el-Geneina in western Sudan, near the country’s border with Chad, has been under an unprecedented barbaric onslaught since April 20, read a statement released today by the Sudan Doctors Syndicate (SDS).
The fighting there has resulted in hundreds of injuries and dozens of deaths, the union said.
