Trapped by Sudan fighting, dozens of infants, toddlers and children died in Khartoum orphanage
CAIRO: At least 60 infants, toddlers and older children perished over the past six weeks while trapped in harrowing conditions in an orphanage in Sudan's capital as fighting raged outside.Most died from lack of food and from fever. Twenty-six died in two days over the weekend.The extent of the children's suffering emerged from interviews with more than a dozen doctors, volunteers, health officials and workers at the Al-Mayqoma orphanage.
The hospitals, where the children received advanced treatment, had to shut down because of lack of power or nearby shelling, said Heba Abdalla, who joined the orphanage as a child and is now a nurse there.Spokespeople for the military, the RSF, the health ministry and the social development ministry, which oversees the orphanage, didn't answer requests for comment about the orphanage.The situation was particularly harrowing in the first three weeks of the conflict when fighting was heaviest.
