We strongly condemn airstrikes allegedly carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces on March 31 in South Darfur, near the Teaching Hospital and within a densely populated civilian area.
Following at least two strikes, the MSF-supported hospital received 5 wounded patients and the body of one person.

@doctorswithoutborders.org calls on the international community, United Nations agencies, embassies, and other influential organizations to help secure humanitarian access to Nyatim. Let aid in!
@doctorswithoutborders.org staff say people are dying of suspected hunger, as their only food is boiled tree leaves. About 12 children have died of acute watery diarrhea or malaria. At least 10 people have been abducted by armed gangs including a woman who was shot dead, even though she had a baby.
The authorities - the government - are blocking @doctorswithoutborders.org and other aid organizations from helping them. They need help and we cannot reach them.
At least 58 people have died in Nyatim over the past four weeks, according to local @doctorswithoutborders.org staff, who are themselves among the displaced people fleeing violence.
Today, @doctorswithoutborders.org staff in South Sudan issued a press release about a place called Nyatim, where tens of thousands of people have fled fighting between government and opposition forces. It is nothing short of a humanitarian disaster. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/human...
