4 May 2023 at 13:54 Seven killed when cars from Church Aid were attacked in South Sudan Two cars from Church Aid were attacked in South Sudan on Saturday, and seven local aid workers were killed. Three employees of the Church Aid made it to safety. – Our thoughts go out to the families who have lost a loved one in this attack, and our employees who are affected by this, says general secretary Dagfinn Høybråten. The attack took place in Imehejek in South Sudan. – We strongly condemn the attack on civilians and humanitarian workers. The attack shows how demanding and complex it is to work in countries where the security situation is constantly changing, says Høybråten. The Church’s emergency aid is now following up on its own employees, who, according to Høybråten, are strongly affected. – Today we have had commemorations both in Oslo and in Juba, says Høybråten.
