MSF: Aid is being used for military purposes in South Sudan

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warns that aid is being used for military and political purposes in South Sudan, despite the country's severe humanitarian needs.

MSF says it is a "worrying trend" to block humanitarian and civilian access to disputed or opposition-controlled areas, and that all sides in the intense civil conflict are exploiting aid militarily and politically.

In a report, MSF writes that the government has blocked its access to the town of Akobo in Jonglei state, where fighting has recently taken place.
