Two children have been k!lled and others injured after a bomb fell near a paediatric hospital in the western Sudanese city of El Fasher
This information was given by the medical charity MSF.
Clashes have recently intensified in the battle for control of the city.
It is the last major urban centre in the Darfur region that remains in the hands of the army.
It has been fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for more than a year, in a civil war that has !illed thousands and forced millions from their homes.
The army has managed to hold on to El Fasher but tension has been mounting as the RSF has been besieging the city since the middle of last month and threatening an assault.
Since Friday, residents have witnessed intense clashes and the exchange of heavy mortar fire, a freelance journalist in the city told the BBC.
At some point overnight into Sunday a blast in front of the MSF-supported Babiker Nahar Paediatric Hospital in El Fasher “led to the collapse of the roof above the intensive care unit and the death of two children receiving treatment there, as well as some caregivers”, the charity said in a brief statement sent to the BBC.
