Overview
- MSF reports its Lankien hospital was struck overnight on Feb. 3–4 after the facility was evacuated, with one staff member injured and the main warehouse destroyed along with critical medical supplies.
- The charity says its health center in Pieri was looted earlier the same day by unknown assailants, rendering the facility unusable and forcing staff to flee with residents.
- MSF says it was the sole provider of care for roughly 250,000 people in Lankien and Pieri, leaving local communities without access to healthcare following the attacks.
- Officials have not offered substantive comment, with a state minister declining to respond and the army spokesperson unreachable, as humanitarian access in parts of Jonglei remains restricted.
- The strike is described as the 10th attack on an MSF-run facility in 12 months, and the UN estimates about 280,000 people have been displaced in Jonglei since December.
