Sudan’s RSF Bombs Hospital as Famine Spreads in Darfur

HeadlineFeb 06, 2026

In Sudan, the United Nations warns famine conditions are continuing to spread to more regions. Experts warn the rate of acutely malnourished children under the age of 5 has nearly doubled in Um Baru, located in Sudan’s Darfur region. In another area of western Darfur, nearly a third of children are now suffering from acute malnutrition. Elsewhere, the Sudan Doctors Network reports at least 22 people were killed Thursday when RSF paramilitaries bombed the Al-Kuweik Hospital in South Kordofan state. Among the reported victims are the hospital’s medical director and at least three other healthcare workers.
