Violence between Sudan's two senior generals has erupted, causing havoc in Khartoum's hospitals.
Since Saturday, residents have been unable to leave their houses as the two sides have engaged in fire fights and exchanged artillery and airstrikes.
According to statistics from the United Nations, there have been more than 185 fatalities and more than 1,800 injuries since the combat started.
All patients in the Ahmed Qassem Children's Hospital had to be evacuated, with the exception of those in the intensive care unit.
The Sudanese capital had become a battle zone, and supplies were running low. Doctors, nurses, patients, and their families had been locked inside for days.
"There is a lack of personnel, medication, and oxygen. Even the physicians have fled, according to Dr. Mohamed al-Mostafa, who noted that the hospital is experiencing a lack of several items.
Twenty hospitals are located in Omdurman, a nearby city, and the capital. Doctors claimed those that continued to function were understaffed, overworked, low on supplies, and battling with power or water outages.
Everyone was taken off guard by the rapid outbreak of violence, which trapped medical professionals within hospitals and prevented other employees from accessing the facilities.
Numerous hospitals in Khartoum, according to the World Health Organization, have reported shortages of "blood, transfusion equipment, intravenous fluids, medical supplies, and other life-saving commodities."
According to the general manager, Al Nameir Gibril Ibrahim, the Al-Shaab Teaching Hospital closed down on Monday after a ward was hit during violence at the Ahmed Qassem Children's Hospital.
