Children Killed at Darfur Hospital as Fighting Intensifies in Sudan's El Fasher
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, Doctors Without Borders says two children were killed and
others were injured overnight Sunday when a bomb fell outside a
pediatric hospital in the western city of El Fasher, the capital of
North Darfur. Also on Sunday, there were reports of another 27 deaths in
El Fasher as the Sudanese army clashed with the RSF - Rapid Support
Forces - as fears mount of possible "carnage" in the last major
stronghold of the army. Some 800,000 internally displaced people have
taken refuge in El Fasher, which was once thought to be relatively
shielded from the war.
