A 40-year-old Ugandan health specialist in South Sudan is said to have succumbed to gunshot wounds she sustained in an attack by unknown gunmen Wednesday.
Clara Amono, a specialist in Reproductive Health working for Cordaid, an international emergency relief and development organization in South Sudan, was shot in an ambush between Chukudum and Camp 15 in Budi County, Eastern Equatoria State.
A yet-to-be identified driver of the same organization also reportedly sustained gunshot injuries.
Amono was on active duty travelling from Torit state to another location to support a medical facility when their convoy of vehicles operated by Cordaid and Save the Children International, came under gunfire from unidentified attackers.
