Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, said at least 17 people were killed and 123 were injured in attacks on a town on Sudan’s border with Chad.
Cairo– A medical group reported that 17 people died and many others were injured in the latest heavy fighting between the warring parties in Sudan.
Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF, said in a post on Twitter late Tuesday that 66 people were in critical condition following Monday’s attacks in Tina.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, expanded their attacks on military areas in Tina, but troops were able to repel them and force them to retreat, the army said in an update.
The attack intensified near the border between the army and the RSF, which have been at war since April 2023. Conflict: More than 40,000 people have been killed, according to UN figures, but aid groups say the real number may be much higher.
Tina is one of the last areas held by Sudanese forces in the vast Darfur region, which has been under the control of the RSF since October 2025. When the Adre border crossing was temporarily closed recently, the nearby Tyne crossing was also used as the only route for humanitarian aid and distribution across the border from Chad.
Chad said last month that it happened and closed its borders with Sudan “until further notice” in an effort to limit the spread of the conflict in its region.
MSF teams and Chadian health services treated people injured in Monday’s attacks at a new hospital in Tyne, Chad.
An MSF employee at the hospital said doctors were treating patients without water or electricity and relying on generators and solar panels. The influx of new patients is also depleting the stock of medicines.
Sudan descended into chaos.
Chad briefly closed its border in April 2023, soon after Sudan descended into chaos, when a power struggle between the army and the RSF escalated into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, and elsewhere in the country.
Darfur and Kordofan regions become the center of Sudan war. Deadly drone strikes are frequently reported in Kordofan. Drone attacks in the Sudanese region of Kordofan have taken a growing toll. Analysts and humanitarian workers have previously said civilians and aid operations have been hindered.
