Gunships and drones targeted a hospital and market in South Sudan’s Old Fangak, killing seven and injuring 20, amid escalating violence in the region.
At least seven people were killed and 20 others injured in an attack that damaged a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in South Sudan.
MSF said two helicopter gunships first dropped a bomb on the hospital’s pharmacy, destroying it, then fired on the town of Old Fangak in the Greater Upper Nile region for about 30 minutes. A drone later bombed the town’s market, located next to the hospital, causing the casualties.
The attack comes amid renewed conflict in South Sudan following the collapse of a power-sharing agreement between President Salva Kiir and First Vice-President Riek Machar, raising fears of a return to civil war.
It remains unclear who carried out the strike or what the motive was.
The bombed facility was the last functioning hospital and pharmacy in Fangak County, serving more than 110,000 people who already had extremely limited access to healthcare.
