Medecins Sans Frontieres issued a formal accusation on May 22, 2026, stating that the South Sudanese government and SPLA-IO opposition forces are systematically exploiting humanitarian aid for military and political gain. The aid group reported that persistent blockages in contested areas have deprived over 760,000 people of essential healthcare services. This development comes amid a surge in violence and reports of civilian massacres, pushing the country toward a total humanitarian collapse and renewed civil war.
