Four aid workers missing.

Four Sierra Leonean aid workers are missing after leaving Freetown a week ago for the Southern Province to hold a two-week peacebuilding workshop, Georgiana Scott, administration assistant for the NGO Christian Health Association of Sierra Leone (CHASL,) told IRIN on Friday. They left Freetown on 21 July and were travelling in a vehicle carrying food for the duration of the workshop. Scott said reports of their disappearance first reached CHASL on Monday when participants from Moyamba and Mattru, some 100 km and 220 km southeast of Freetown respectively, said they were still waiting for the team to arrive.
