Sudan: Tragic loss of Save the Children staff in Darfur landmine incident

A Save the Children vehicle was hit by an anti-tank landmine on Sunday 10 October in the Um Barro area of North Darfur, Sudan. Two members of staff travelling in the vehicle were killed, Rafe Bullick (British, Programme Manager, North Darfur) and Nourredine Issa Tayeb (Sudanese, Water Engineer). The team were carrying out programme work in this area which until three weeks ago had been virtually inaccessible to the outside world.
