Hospitals deliberately targeted by Sudan's RSF fighters, BBC investigation finds
The UN human rights chief Volker Türk says the multiple attacks may amount to war crimes.
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.
UN human rights chief Volker Türk called the findings "deeply disturbing", saying multiple attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on civilian infrastructure, including health facilities, were serious violations of international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes.
The paramilitary group's health minister described the allegations as propaganda and a deliberate attempt by the national army and its allies to smear the RSF's reputation.
"We do not know if hospitals are being intentionally targeted, but… the belligerents are not taking any precautions to spare them," it said in a statement.
