The main hospital in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher has been attacked and is now out of service, according to Doctors Without Borders.
Staff were forced to transfer patients after the Rapid Support Forces opened fire inside the facility on Saturday.
It was one of the last medical facilities still operating in el-Fasher, that's home to more than a million people.
About 130,000 have fled their homes in a month, to escape the fighting.
The UN says the number of internally displaced people in war-torn Sudan has now reached over ten million.
Michel Lacharité is Head of Emergency Operations at Doctors Without Borders.
He says that the Rapid Support Forces are responsible for looting medical supplies.
