Lord McNair

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What information they have received about the alleged bombing of a hospital in Yei, in southern Sudan, in November. [HL218]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

Our Khartoum staff in Nairobi report that in recent months the town of Yei has been bombed at least five times from high altitude by Government of Sudan bombers. Three of these bombings took place in November. On most of these occasions the hospital was hit and damage incurred to hospital buildings with a small number of fatalities and several injuries.
