MSF was forced to stop all medical activities in Lankien, South Sudan, on February 3, after a bomb was dropped from a plane into the hospital compound. In the following days, the facility was further destroyed by subsequent attacks, including looting and vandalism. In April, MSF permanently closed the Lankien hospital, which had been providing lifesaving care to some 250,000 people. As a result, people in Lankien now have no access to medical services. “This is the fourth facility that has been destroyed since 2025,” said Yashovardhan, MSF’s head of mission in South Sudan. “So what we are seeing here is a trend of attacks on health care facilities.”
