Aid agencies say the “shocking” killings of six aid workers in South Sudan on Saturday is causing them to re-assess how and when they can deliver supplies.
The BBC reported that the victims were ambushed by unidentified attackers when travelling between Juba and the town of Pibor to the northeast.
Oxfam said the attack “demonstrates how dangerous it is in South Sudan ” and was leading agencies to re-evaluate “what is mission-critical and what is not”.
The agency said aid deliveries would continue but could be delayed
The latest fatal attack on humanitarian workers came a month after famine was declared in parts of Unity state in northern South Sudan.
