Civilian casualties mount in South Sudan amid fighting between army and local militias

  • On May 3, a series of airstrikes hit a hospital and a Doctors Without Borders facility in the northern community of Fangak, South Sudan, killing seven people.
  • The strikes occurred amid ongoing clashes between South Sudan's army and local militia groups across the country that have escalated since tensions erupted in March.
  • Human rights groups report dozens of civilians killed in recent weeks, including at least 58 in the Upper Nile State offensive and 12 in a May 15 bombardment in Wichmon village.
  • Medical personnel in Akobo, near the border with South Sudan, report that ongoing conflict is preventing the evacuation of those with severe injuries, with Christina Bartulec noting that patients in the worst condition are often unable to be transported and face slim chances of surviving the trip.
  • The escalating violence has worsened humanitarian conditions, forced civilians to flee due to fears of continued airstrikes, and prompted alerts from the United Nations about the renewed threat of civil conflict in South Sudan.
