US EditionUN estimates over 2,000 Sudanese pregnant women have fled el-Fasher to escape conflict
More than 6,000 pregnant women lost access to maternal care after RSF's violent takeover of El-Fasher, forcing them into displacement camps with severe health risks, the U.N. reported.
- Pregnant women, including Rasha Ahmed who is 8 months pregnant, fled el-Fasher in Sudan due to violence by the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, who attacked civilians and a maternity hospital.
- Ahmed traveled for 14 days, some of it on foot without her missing husband, to reach the displacement camp in Tawila with her two children.
- The rampage left over 6,000 pregnant women without access to maternal care, and 60% of those who arrived in Tawila were acutely malnourished, according to aid groups.
