TL;DR

Medics in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, were beaten and whipped by armed men who attacked their convoy, according to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). The medical team was delivering supplies to a hospital when the incident occurred, and one of their vehicles was stolen. MSF warns that its aid to hospitals in Khartoum is now in jeopardy, as the ongoing power struggle between the army and paramilitary forces has devastated medical facilities in the city. The charity has treated over 1,600 patients since the conflict began but may have to halt its operations due to the deteriorating security situation.
