The Bahri Emergency Room, north of the capital Khartoum, expressed its deep concern over the arrest of volunteer, Abeer Mohammed Fadl El-Sayed Farah, on December 15th, by the Military Intelligence of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in El-Samrab neighborhood.
The Emergency Room explained in a statement that Abeer, a mother of a one-year-old girl, had been providing humanitarian services since the outbreak of the war on April 15th, 2023.
