South Sudan, Old Fangak: “I didn't think that this hospital was going to be bombed”
I am completely heartbroken by what has happened. The hospital had been there for more than 10 year sand was a lifeline to over 100,000 people in the area. Hospitals should never be the targets and I utterly condemn this bombing. It was a 35-bed hospital that had an outpatient department, inpatient wards,maternity – and we were able to refer severe cases to higher level facilities. Now, there is nothing left.
