Aid groups fear South Sudan is on the brink of another war as dozens of civilians, including children, have been killed or severely injured in recent weeks in violent clashes between South Sudan’s army and militia groups across the country. Survivors describe airstrikes and bombings on local communities, including while people are sleeping. Doctors say the ongoing fighting has made it difficult to transport severely injured patients to receive urgent medical care. Tensions between South Sudan’s government and opposition groups have been rising since March. This comes as the Trump administration’s legal fight to transfer immigrants from the U.S. to South Sudan has reached the Supreme Court.
