AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported that one of its hospitals in Lankien, Jonglei state, South Sudan, was hit by a government air strike on Tuesday, marking the tenth attack on an MSF facility in the country in the last year. The hospital had been evacuated prior to the strike, but one staff member sustained minor injuries and the main warehouse, containing critical medical supplies, was destroyed. In a separate incident, MSF's health facility in Pieri, also in Jonglei, was looted, rendering it unusable. MSF stated that it had previously shared the GPS coordinates of its facilities with the government and other parties to the conflict. These incidents occurred after the government imposed restrictions on humanitarian access in opposition-held areas of Jonglei in December.
