An arson attack in the Cameroonian city of Mamfe has burnt a hospital to the ground.
According to a local administrative official quoted by the AFP news agency, all 45 patients at Mamfe district hospital were safely transported to another institution, and no deaths occurred.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) described the incident as an "unprecedented attack on a vitally important hospital" that will have a "significant impact on patients in a region where access to healthcare has already been severely hampered by years of violence."
The perpetrators of the incident are unknown, although local media speculate that it was the work of English-speaking separatists seeking to split from the French-speaking majority.
After five years of brutal fighting between Anglophone separatists and government soldiers, both sides have been accused of human rights violations, with over 6,000 people murdered and 700,000 displaced.
Cameroonian soldiers killed nine civilians, including a newborn, in Missing, North-West region, earlier this month, according to the defense ministry.
On Tuesday, suspected separatists killed five soldiers in Njitapon, Cameroon's West region, around 12 kilometers (8 miles) from the North-West area's border.
