Jonglei faces deadly clashes and hospital attacks, leaving 280,000 displaced and urgent aid needed in South Sudan’s largest state.
Fighting in South Sudan's Jonglei State has intensified, causing widespread displacement, attacks on healthcare facilities, and disrupting aid. The UN reports over 370,000 displaced this year, with escalating violence threatening to undermine peace efforts and worsen humanitarian conditions.
In South Sudan, a hospital in Lankien was attacked, marking the 10th assault on MSF facilities in 12 months. The hospital was evacuated before the strike, but its main warehouse was destroyed, and supplies lost. A separate looting incident occurred in Pieri, leaving communities without healthcare amid ongoing conflict.
