MSF leaves famine-stricken camp in Darfur, Sudan due to fighting

Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been forced to suspend operations in a famine-stricken camp in Sudan’s North Darfur due to heavy fighting in the area, it said on February 24th as reported by Reuters.

The organisation was one of the last still working in the besieged Zamzam camp which houses around 500,000 people displaced by Sudan’s 22-month-long civil war.

MSF had operated a hospital that allowed them to treat the wounded in attacks this month by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, and have also treated thousands of malnourished children.
