told the UN Security Council on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe army has also been accused of indiscriminate shelling and aerial bombing in densely populated areas.<\/p>\n
El Fasher resident Ibrahim al-Tayeb al-Faki said his sister was killed in a military airstrike that had also destroyed his home.<\/p>\n
The 47-year-old told the BBC he had sent his three children to live with their grandfather but his house was also hit. The family is now sheltering in its ruins.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no safe place in El Fasher right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Medical charity M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF) said staff at a hospital it operated in the city were struggling to cope.<\/p>\n
Since the fighting began in the city on Friday 10 May, 809 casualties had arrived at South Hospital and 93 had died, MSF said.<\/p>\n
The hospital had only one surgeon and more than 70 people were waiting for operations, MSF\u2019s Claire Nicolet told the BBC, warning that medical supplies would soon run out.<\/p>\n
The situation is no different at Saudi Hospital, run by the Ministry of Health, which has been partially damaged.<\/p>\n
Its medical director Modther Ibrahim Suliman told the BBC that the water and solar systems had been destroyed and they were operating under \u201cvery difficult\u201d conditions.<\/p>\n
El Fasher residents say that access to food and water has become increasingly difficult. The RSF has been attacking the city from three sides and blocked all supply routes.<\/p>\n
“Survival is incredibly challenging,” 32-year-old lawyer Mahmoud Ahmed Adam, who has had to move repeatedly to escape the fighting, told the BBC.<\/p>\n
“Many people are living in schools and refugee centres that lack basic services or aid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Abdallah, who lost his brother, said Ab Shouk camp\u2019s Al Saalam School was now doubling as a shelter for those who had recently lost their homes.<\/p>\n
It had also been shelled this week, resulting in a young girl losing her leg.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is currently receiving first aid at the camp\u2019s clinic as there is no means to take her to South Hospital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
