In a statement, MSF said that on Monday alone, May 20, "in just a few hours" they received 60 wounded at Al Fasher Teaching Hospital in North Darfur state capital, the result of fighting between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Of the 60 wounded, nine died "from their wounds", the aid group said.
"In total, since the fighting began on Friday, May 10, 707 wounded have been admitted to Al Fasher Teaching Hospital, of whom 85 have died," it said in the statement.
At the hospital, MSF said, "there is only one surgeon available (...) and new patients are arriving every day, so the pressure (...) is immense".
"People are arriving with abdominal injuries, chest wounds, head injuries and open fractures. Some have bullet wounds, others have been hit by shrapnel and some by direct shelling," it said.
In addition to the lack of staff, "medical supplies are running low" and only "around 10 days of supplies remain", added MSF, which called on the warring parties to allow humanitarian aid to flow unimpeded.
"If we cannot get these supplies through, it will be extremely difficult to continue to treat the wounded," MSF's Sudan director Claire Nicolet was quoted as saying in the statement.
Al Fasher is the last major army stronghold in Darfur's vast five-state region, which has been one of the areas worst affected by the fighting between the army and the RSF.
According to Sudan's Doctors Syndicate, at least 30,000 people have been killed and more than 70,000 injured since fighting erupted on April 15, 2023 between the army and the RSF, amid a process of integrating the paramilitaries into the regular forces, triggering a power struggle between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hemedti".
