US EditionAttack on MSF hospital in South Sudan was deliberate, U.N rights commission says

- The strike by South Sudan's army followed escalating ethnic tensions and clashes between government forces and opposition in the region, creating worsening insecurity.
- The attack destroyed the hospital, killed at least seven people, injured 20, and further restricted medical access for a population of about 100,000 with already limited healthcare.
- The UN Commission called the bombing a potential war crime and urged all parties to protect civilians and allow unhindered humanitarian access amid rising conflict risks.
- Consequently, Doctors Without Borders indefinitely reduced outreach medical activities in insecure areas like Yei County, raising concerns about vulnerable communities' health amid ongoing violence.
