Two Iraqi UN employees were killed and a third person injured in an accident on Monday near the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
The staff members were part of a team working for the UN’s Mine Action Service (Unmas) at an explosive ordnance clearance site at the Shatt al Arab port.
“The incident occurred in the early morning at the site managed by Al Khebra Al Fania, which is one of Unmas Iraq’s implementing partners,” the UN agency in Iraq said in a statement.
UNMAS in Iraq and the entire UN family in Iraq convey their deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and wish the injured person a speedy recovery.
