Four Unicef Staff Killed in Somalia

Four Unicef Staff Killed in Somalia

Four UNICEF staff members have been killed in an attack on their vehicle in Garowe, Somalia. Four other UNICEF colleagues are in a serious condition.

The IED (improvised explosive device) attack occurred when the staff were travelling from their guest house to the office, normally a three minute drive.

UNICEF is presently contacting families of the staff, and airlifting the injured.

The UNICEF colleagues were an integral part of UNICEF’s work in Somalia, dedicated to improving the lives of others.
