Patients with less serious conditions were taken hostage, a staff member who wasn’t on duty at the time of the attack told our correspondent over the phone.
“This is among the most horrific experiences. Since we are unable to remain here any longer, Gulu General Hospital has unfortunately collapsed. Last night, every employee on duty was taken. They only kept a small number of seriously ill patients. This is cruel, he declared.
