The UN Commission says

The UN Commission for Human Rights in South Sudan condemned an air bomb attack on an air bomb attack on a doctor (MSF) in the Fangak district by the Südsudan defect (SSPDF) on Tuesday. According to MSF, two helicopter guns performed the strike that wiped out the hospital on Sunday, May 4th. The attack left at least seven deaths and 20 injured, including patients in critical condition and MSF caregivers. As a result, the population of the district of 100,000 people who have already had extremely limited access to health care are cut off from any medical care.

The Commission claims that the attacks were deliberately carried out and a clear violation of humanitarian international law (IHL) that could be a war crime. Since hospitals have special protection as part of the first Geneva convention, they must not be targeted if they contribute to military measures and represent a military goal. In addition, such a staff and the healthcare patients deliberately depicts the civilian population and forms a serious violation of the IHL, according to the fourth Geneva Convention and additional protocol II. Both laws represent war crimes under the Rome Act and can be pursued by the International Criminal Court.

In relation to the intentionality of the attack, UN Commissioner Barney Afako commented on the strike “It does not seem to be an isolated incident – it has occurred in the context of an escalating ethnic profiling, illegal detainees and the hardening of the positions within the political and military elite. “The South Sudanian government had shown the district in which the attack was lived in by a majority of the people of the ethnic group of ethnicity by ethnicity.
