US EditionAt least seven killed, 20 injured in bombings in South Sudan, MSF says
- Doctors Without Borders reported that on May 3, 2025, helicopter gunships bombed their hospital and a market in Old Fangak, South Sudan, killing at least seven people.
- The attack happened against the backdrop of escalating discord between the country's leader and his deputy within a delicate coalition government established after a 2018 peace agreement.
- MSF said the airstrikes destroyed the hospital pharmacy and all medical supplies, while a drone hit a nearby market, displacing over 30,000 civilians and crippling local healthcare.
- The head of MSF’s mission emphasized that the hospital was distinctly identified and its coordinates had been communicated to all parties involved in the conflict, denouncing the airstrike as a blatant breach of international humanitarian law.
- The attack has critically disrupted medical services in Old Fangak, the sole hospital serving more than 110,000 residents in the region, and raises fears that South Sudan could slide back into civil war amid ongoing unrest and the reported detention of Machar.
