Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Bombings in South Sudan Kill 7 People, Incl. a Baby, and Destroy MSF Health Facilities

HeadlineMay 05, 2025

In South Sudan, at least seven people were killed, including a 9-month-old baby, and another 20 were injured in bombings on a market in Fangak County in the Greater Upper Nile region. The group Doctors Without Borders said the explosions completely destroyed its pharmacy and damaged its hospital, the area’s only hospital. The perpetrator has not been confirmed, but the deadly attack comes at a time of increasing conflict and amid fears of a new civil war in South Sudan after a power-sharing deal collapsed in March.
