MSF issues response to attacks in Tina, Sudan at the border with Chad

17 March 2026 - Violent attacks continue in Tina, Sudan, at the border with Chad. On 16 March, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and Chadian health authorities received 123 wounded people at a newly built hospital near the border. 17 died at the hospital and 66 arrived in serious conditions.

“This new hospital lacks everything. We treat patients without water or electricity, using a generator and solar panels. With the massive influx of patients, our stock of medicines is running out, and it is difficult to get more,” MSF medical staff, who fears another arrival of patients.

After responding to several mass casualties in February, the former Tine hospital supported by MSF in eastern Chad had to relocate due to security reasons. The situation keeps worsening for displaced people who continue to flee Sudan. They are in desperate need of aid and protection.
