1. BBC investigation: Sudan's RSF systematically destroyed El Fasher's health system, with at least 43 attacks on medical facilities

   A BBC investigation found that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces systematically destroyed the health system of El Fasher in Darfur during their long siege and capture of the city about a year ago, documenting at least 43 attacks on hospitals and clinics between May 2024 and October 2025. Between April 2023 and October 2025 at least 55 health workers were killed, 120 injured and 10 missing or abducted. UN human rights chief Volker Türk said the attacks may amount to war crimes; the RSF's health minister denied the findings, and the RSF has denied reports that more than 460 patients and companions were killed at a maternity hospital on Oct 25, 2025.
