Emily Wambugu Project medical referent : Gives an account of her harrowing experience when violence and fighting groups entered the El Geneina Teaching Hospital supported by MSF t in El Geneina Darfur.

Since Sunday 24 April 2022, all essential healthcare services are disrupted by a violent attack in and around Kreneik town in West Darfur State and in its capital El Geneina, leaving wounded and sick in desperate need without access to lifesaving medical care. In both locations MSF supported the two main health facilities when the attacks occurred. Four days after the attack the situations remains fragile and tense. Our teams continue to hear occasional shooting.The attacks on healthcare left four hospital staff killed. Most of the frightened healthcare staff and patients fled for their lives when the shooting entered the hospitals, afraid to return. Our team was informed that all our patients had fled, also mothers who had their children on oxygen.
