Format
(Juba, 23 May 2021) The Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan, Alain Noudéhou, strongly condemns the brutal killing of an aid worker in Panyijiar County, Unity State, on 21 May, and the horrific attack against a clearly-marked humanitarian convoy, including an ambulance, in a separate incident reported on the same day, a few kilometres away, in Koch.
“I am appalled by this horrific news of another act of violence against humanitarians in South Sudan. I want to express our condolences to the family and colleagues of the aid worker who was killed in Panyijiar. He was a dedicated medical doctor. Our thoughts are also with the other colleagues affected by the second attack in Koch,” said Mr. Noudéhou.
