MSF Hospital Bombed, Dozens Killed in South Sudan

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) confirmed its hospital in Old Fangak, South Sudan, was destroyed in an aerial bombardment early Saturday, killing at least seven and injuring over 20 people, including a 9-month-old child. The attack, allegedly carried out by government forces using helicopters and drones, also destroyed the only pharmacy and all critical medical supplies, cutting off healthcare for over 40,000 people—many already displaced by flooding. MSF said the hospital's coordinates had been shared with all parties and condemned the strike as a deliberate violation of international humanitarian law. The violence caused more than 30,000 residents to flee as clashes intensify between President Salva Kiir's forces and opposition loyal to First Vice-President Riek Machar. The incident marks a significant escalation in conflict following the collapse of a power-sharing agreement, worsening an already dire humanitarian situation. MSF and local officials are demanding accountability and protection for civilians.
