A BBC investigation has found evidence that Sudanese paramilitary fighters systematically destroyed el-Fasher's healthcare system during their long siege and subsequent takeover of the city in Darfur a year ago.

The health minister of the group's civilian-affiliated government, Dr Alaa Eldin Nugud, dismissed the allegations as propaganda.

The BBC's Africa correspondent Barbara Plett Usher speaks to two doctors who support the claims of systemic targeting of hospitals.
