According to the ICRC, the vehicle, which was clearly marked with the Red Crescent emblem, was hijacked by three gunmen in Mogadishu. The driver was seriously injured. The ICRC urged again all parties concerned to take every measure to protect humanitarian workers, medical staff, hospitals and health clinics. |
