Dilling, Sudan Now | May 2, 2026

 

The Sudan Doctors Network announced that health facilities in the city of Dilling, South Kordofan State, have come under repeated shelling, leading to a near-total collapse of the health sector and a severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies.

 

The network said in a statement that the shelling, attributed to the RSF and the SPLM-N (Al-Hilu faction), has forced a large number of health facilities out of service. These include the Teaching Hospital, which is operating only partially, while Al-Tomat Referral Hospital remains out of service. The Military Medical Hospital was completely destroyed, while Mother Bakhita Hospital is currently limited to maternity services only.

 

She added that the shelling also forced the closure of most of the city’s health centers, estimated at around 10 facilities, including centers providing nutrition and reproductive health services.

 

The network confirmed that the attacks have caused a severe shortage of medical staff, a lack of medicines and equipment, and the breakdown of radiology devices. It noted that the few remaining operational facilities are facing major shortages of essential medical supplies, making the delivery of healthcare services extremely difficult.

 

She warned that thousands of civilians, particularly women and children, are facing grave risks amid the absence of life-saving services.

 

The Sudan Doctors Network called for an immediate halt to the targeting of healthcare facilities and the urgent opening of safe humanitarian corridors to ensure the delivery of medical supplies and personnel. It also appealed to international and regional organizations to take swift action to support the health sector and rehabilitate damaged institutions.
