JUBA, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- International medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said Tuesday it has suspended all outreach activities in Yei River County in southern South Sudan, following an attack on its staff.
MSF Head of Mission in South Sudan Iqbal Huda said that on Sept. 20, two clearly marked MSF vehicles were attacked while returning to the town of Yei from an outreach activity. The unknown armed men forced MSF staff to disembark at gunpoint, looting MSF and personal belongings. The armed men forcibly took an MSF staff member and a person from a partner organization into the bush, while allowing the two remaining MSF staff and drivers to continue with their vehicles.
