OCHA’s acting Emergency Relief Coordinator Carolyn McAskie last week voiced concern over the killing in Sudan earlier this month of two humanitarian aid workers with CARE International and the abduction of two others. The four were on their way to Mayom in the Upper Nile area to open a health centre when their vehicle was ambushed by unknown assailants. In a statement McAskie said she was “deeply saddened and seriously concerned” by the incident. CARE said this was the most serious and violent incident against its staff in Sudan during the 20 year it has worked there.
