Rescue worker killed in embattled Tigray region

The International Rescue Committee says one of its workers was killed in an attack in Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region.

The aid group said in a statement Saturday that an IRC worker was “delivering life saving humanitarian aid to women and children” at the time of the explosion in the town of Shire on Friday.

The group said another worker was wounded in the attack. It added that “aid workers and civilians should never be a target.”
