A local emergency group has accused Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of forcing civilian patients out of six hospitals in West Kordofan to make room for hundreds of wounded fighters brought from recent battles around Ayal Bakhit, in an allegation the reporting outlet said could not be independently verified and to which the RSF had not responded.

The Dar Hamar Emergency Room said on Monday that its field monitoring recorded the arrival of more than 350 wounded RSF fighters at hospitals in Al-Nahud, Al-Fula, Ghubaysh and other locations, Sudan Now reported. The group said about 150 civilian patients, including people in critical condition, were prevented from receiving treatment and medical care.

The facilities the group named were Al-Kubra Hospital, Al-Nahud Referral Hospital, Al-Nahud Teaching Hospital, Al-Fula Hospital, the Chinese Hospital in Al-Fula and Ghubaysh Hospital, according to Sudan Now. The Dar Hamar Emergency Room also alleged that RSF fighters forced civilians at gunpoint to dig graves and bury fighters killed in the clashes; it said large numbers of RSF fighters had been buried in the area but gave no specific death toll. Those allegations also could not be independently confirmed.

The fighting behind the allegation

The reported hospital clearances followed fighting between the Sudanese army and allied forces on one side and the RSF and its allies on the other around Ayal Bakhit in Al-Khuwei locality. The Sudanese army took control of Ayyal Bakhit in West Kordofan after clashes with the RSF, military sources told Anadolu, in reporting carried by TRT Afrika and summarised in DefenceReport's wires brief on Monday; fighting in the Kordofans has intensified since October 25.

Last week the army announced that it had seized four areas in North and South Kordofan, destroyed 40 RSF combat vehicles and captured 43 others — figures stated by the army and not independently verified. Sudan's state news agency SUNA reported that the Sudanese Armed Forces said their air defences shot down an enemy FH-95 drone over the Eayal Bakheet area of West Kordofan on Saturday, and situation reporting on Monday described it as the army's fourth drone downed in a week as its forces pressed the advance in western Kordofan.

A pattern the group says it has seen before

The Dar Hamar Emergency Room reported similar incidents in September, saying civilians had been removed from hospitals and health centres in West Kordofan to accommodate wounded fighters. Health facilities across Kordofan have faced increasing pressure from fighting, displacement, shortages of medical supplies and disruption to essential services, Sudan Now reported.

Sudan's war between the army and the RSF broke out in April 2023 and has grown into what the United Nations has described as the world's biggest humanitarian crisis, with famine, mass displacement and ethnic killings reported across the country. The Kordofan fighting sits on the routes between Khartoum, Darfur and the west, which is why control of towns such as Ayal Bakhit and the road toward Al-Nahud matters to both sides.

What happens next

No RSF statement on the hospital allegation was available in the reporting reviewed, and no independent body had verified the Dar Hamar account by Monday evening. The next tests are whether the RSF responds, whether aid or medical groups corroborate what happened inside the six named hospitals, and whether the army's advance along the Al-Khuwei axis toward Al-Nahud holds — or is reversed, as earlier gains in Kordofan have been.
