Myanmar regime bombs Kachin ‘jungle hospital’ three times in one week

A hospital in Kachin State’s Mohnyin Township that provides vital healthcare to displaced people was targeted by airstrikes three times last week, according to the doctor who runs the facility.

On Thursday, Dr. Soe Min wrote on Facebook that Myanmar’s military attacked the hospital near Indawgyi Lake on April 22, 24, and 26. While there was some damage to the hospital, no one was injured, he wrote.

The hospital, which treats over 1,000 malaria patients monthly, has had to temporarily close due to the airstrikes, he added.
