Hospitals besieged, journalists told to stay inside

Hospitals in Khartoum have been besieged by Sudanese forces, the protest-linked Sudanese Doctors' Committee said. 

It said the Royal Care hospital, which has often taken casualties from the protest, has been besieged and volunteers are being prevented from going to the hospital. 

A doctor told MEE they could not reach the hospital to help. 

"If they know I'm a doctor, they will arrest me," they said. 

Journalists have also reported that they have been barred from going on to the street to cover the aftermath of this morning's attack.
