Mogadishu (Sunatimes) Reports
from the Somali capital, Mogadishu, say an aid worker with MSF who was wounded in a gunfire attack yesterday
has died.
The aid worker who is
said to be an Indonesian died of his injuries after he was shot and wounded on
Thursday by a disgruntled former employee together with a Belgian colleague.
His colleague died shortly after the attack.
The victim was taken
to a hospital for treatment, but succumbed to his wounds despite numerous blood
transfusions, doctors said.
The two were attacked
by a Somali employee who was dismissed from his job running the groups’
logistics on Wednesday.
Mogadishu remains one of the most dangerous locations for aid workers to operate in, with many groups not allowing international workers to stay in the capital for extended periods.
International aid
workers face potential attacks from rebel fighters and kidnappings for ransom.
In the last such
attack on international aid workers in Somalia, three Somali aid workers were
killed in the central Hiran region.
