MSF hospital strike in Jonglei leaves staff missing as fighting intensifies in South Sudan
TL;DR
MSF says a hospital in Jonglei state was hit by government air strikes, leaving staff missing and destroying the main warehouse; a separate MSF facility in Pieri was looted the same day. MSF evacuated patients beforehand and reported one staff member injured. The violence reflects a renewed flare-up between government forces and Machar-aligned forces, with humanitarian access restricted in opposition-held areas and MSF warning that attacks could leave about 250,000 people in Lankien and Pieri without healthcare.
