El Fasher, July 2(Darfur 24)
Dr. Tahani Adam Mohamed, Director of the Kidney Dialysis Center in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, revealed that they had begun searching for a safe place to transport the equipment as an alternative to the center after it was bombed for the second time.
Tahani told “Darfur 24” that the equipment and the water treatment unit were intact and were not damaged, noting that the greatest damage was to the pharmaceutical supply store north of the center, which was completely burned.
She stated that efforts are underway to find a location and restart the center as soon as possible.
The Rapid Support Forces are pursuing accusations of bombing the dialysis center located west of Al-Fasher Market and east of the Army Command with shells, causing fires in large parts of the center and the drug supply center.
According to the management of the dialysis center, 94 patients receive dialysis doses weekly at the center, including 20 from other Darfur states and 70 from North Darfur state.
Meanwhile, Ayoub Ahmed Azraq, one of the dialysis patients, told “Darfur 24” about the patients’ great suffering due to the bombing of the center, the dialysis patient’s inability to tolerate dialysis sessions for more than a week, and the possibility of his death at a rate of 60% in the event of delayed dialysis.
He called on international organizations to provide medical consumables and help the center return to work as quickly as possible and help patients continue washing.
Most of the health institutions in the city of El Fasher were out of service due to the artillery shelling of hospitals, which targeted the Southern El Fasher Hospital, the Babiker Nahar Center for Children, and the Kidney Dialysis Center.
The only Saudi specialized hospital working to receive emergency cases and patients was bombed last week for the second time, leading to the death of a pharmacist and the damage and destruction of the pharmacy headquarters and medical supplies store.
The city of El Fasher has witnessed fierce battles since last May, killing and wounding about 2,000 people and displacing at least 143,000 people, according to accurate statistics from international organizations.
