Three employees of the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) were almost killed in a boat accident in Jubbaland.
Authorities in Jubbaland described the accident as “near-tragic.”
The incident, which took place in Ras Kamboi, left the three humanitarian workers shaken to their core on Thursday.
A statement from the regional Ministry of Fisheries and Blue Economy said the workers were on their way back from Ras Kamboni when the accident occurred.
Two of the workers suffered what was described as “serious” injuries. The other one escaped with mild injuries.
All of them were airlifted to Mogadishu for effective treatment.
