An international medical humanitarian organization, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), said that Sudanese war planes bombed a hospital they run in the restive South Kordofan state where the government troops carry out a large scale offensive.
“As bombs struck the village of Farandalla on June 16, two hit the MSF hospital there,” MAF said in a press statement released on Tuesday adding that five people were wounded in the village and one MSF staff member was injured at the hospital.
“We are shocked that a medical facility can be bombed, especially since it was clearly identified with a flag and a cross on the roof,” said MSF Head of Mission Brian Moller. “We also had previously communicated the hospital’s position to the authorities in Khartoum.”
Sudanese army and government militia since target rebel positions in South Kordofan where they captured several positions held by the SPLM-N fighters. However, the attacks continue as they aim to dislodge the insurgents from their headquarters in Kauda.
