A hospital belonging to Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Old Fangak, Jonglei State, South Sudan was attacked, resulting in injuries to a patient and a staff member. The attack began at 4:30 am when two helicopter gunships dropped a bomb on the MSF pharmacy, followed by the firing on the town. A nearby civilian market was also bombed by a drone, according to MSF. This incident occurred in the midst of warnings from MSF that the country is on the brink of a new civil war.

    1. This attack has severely compromised our ability to provide lifesaving care in Old Fangak – the only hospital serving over 110,000 people in the area.
    2. The attack began at around 4:30am (02:30GMT) when two helicopter gunships first dropped a bomb on the MSF pharmacy, burning it to the ground, then went on to fire on the town of Old Fangak for around 30 minutes…There are reports of more fatalities and wounded in the community.

    1. The hospital is clearly marked as a hospital. I don't think it was an accident.
    2. The civilian population has fled and the situation is quite horrific and catastrophic … We are quite shocked. The hospital has been there for 10 years, since 2014.
