‘A member of a security team in charge of a UAE humanitarian mission in Afghanistan has been reported missing,’ the official said, without saying when and where he disappeared. The official said the man was an Emirati, but did not give his name. He promised a fuller statement later in the day.
He was speaking following rumours that a doctor from the UAE had gone missing in the Sangin district of the volatile southern Helmand province. The official said the mission was involved in the building of a field hospital, schools and mosques in Afghanistan.
