At Least 17 Dead in Fighting on Sudan’s Border with Chad, Aid Group Says 

18/03/2026

The latest heavy fighting between warring parties along Sudan’s border with Chad has killed 17 people and left many seriously wounded, a medical group said. 
  
Health authorities received 123 wounded people at a newly built hospital, of which 66 arrived in a serious condition, Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, said in a post on X late Tuesday. 
   
The attacks were part of intensified fighting near the border between the army and the RSF, who have been at war since April 2023. The conflict has killed more than 40,000 people, according to UN figures, but aid groups say the true number could be much higher. 
 
Tina is one of the last areas still being held by the Sudanese military in the sprawling Darfur region, which has been under RSF control since October 2025. The nearby Tine crossing has been used as the sole route for cross-border humanitarian aid and deliveries from Chad when the Adre border crossing is closed.
