An airstrike by South Sudan government forces hit a hospital in Jonglei state, near the Ethiopian border, resulting in several aid workers going missing. The hospital is run by Doctors Without Borders (MSF). MSF said the attack occurred during the night on Tuesday. The government of South Sudan has not yet commented. On the same day, MSF reported that an armed group looted its health facility in Pieri, also in Jonglei. This left the facility unusable and forced MSF staff to flee with the local community. Their fate remains unknown. Jonglei has seen rising fighting recently between government troops and forces loyal to suspended First Vice-President Riek Machar. There are fears that this could lead to a full civil war reigniting. Since December, 280,000 people have been displaced in the region due to fighting and air attacks, according to the UN. Before the airstrike, MSF evacuated the hospital in Lankien and discharged patients hours before the attack after receiving warning information. One staff member was injured, and the hospital's main warehouse, including medical supplies, was destroyed. MSF said only South Sudan's government forces have the capability for such aerial attacks. MSF is the only medical service for approximately 250,000 people in Lankien and Pieri. The attacks mean local communities could lose all healthcare support. Gul Badshah, MSF's operations manager, said, "While we are aware of the enormous needs in the country, we find it unacceptable to be a target for attacks." Last year, MSF experienced eight targeted attacks in South Sudan, forcing closures of hospitals and suspension of healthcare activities. Restrictions imposed by the government limit aid delivery in opposition-held areas. Conflict between President Salva Kiir's government and Riek Machar's forces has dragged on since 2013. A 2018 peace deal remains unfulfilled amid ongoing ethnic tensions and violence.
