One aid worker was murdered and the other wounded in a road ambush in Duk County.

In a road ambush in Duk County, Jonglei State, at least one aid worker was murdered and another was wounded.

This is according to Noble Leek Goi, Duk County’s youth chairwoman.

Noble said the incident happened yesterday morning on the route between Pagaak Payam’s Tindiir Boma and Padiet Payam.

The humanitarian workers are thought to be World Food Program (WFP) employees.

Their identities have yet to be determined.

Mr. Noble, on the other hand, claims that officials in the region are looking into the occurrence.

On their way back from a food ratio at a warehouse in Tindiir, five WFP trucks departed Duk Padiet Payam for Fangak in a little hamlet named Tindiir Boma. On their way back from a food ratio at a warehouse in Tindiir, they came upon an ambush when their vehicles were ambushed, Leek explained in an Eye Radio report seen by NCMP.

“One driver was killed, while another was wounded.” Three of the drivers reversed their direction and returned to Tindiir.

“Youth from Tindiir arrived at the scene of the tragedy, discovered the dead corpse and the wounded person, and transported them to Padiet, so that was the full story.”

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has yet to react to the occurrence.

According to multiple Eye Radio reports, this year has been marked by harassment, attacks, and deaths of relief workers in the line of duty.

These instances have been recorded in Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei, Unity, and the Lakes States, as well as the administrative areas of Pibor and Ruweng.
