Very saddened by the killing of Karine Buisset, UNICEF staff member, in a reported drone attack in the DRC. My deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, and colleagues. Humanitarians risk their lives to save others. They must be protected, never targeted.

All of us at UNICEF are devastated and outraged by the killing of our colleague Karine Buisset in a reported drone attack in Goma, DRC. My immediate thoughts are with the family, loved ones & colleagues across UNICEF. Civilians, including aid workers, must never be targeted.
