UNHCR is shocked and saddened by the tragic deaths of two staff members this week.This morning, a UNHCR driver in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was
shot by an unidentified assailant while on his way to work. The 38-year-old Afghan colleague was taken to hospital, where he died of his wounds. An investigation is currently underway.We were
also deeply saddened by the loss of UNHCR staff member Akouvi Enyonam Kumodzi-Agbeviade, who was among the passengers on Kenya Airways flight KQ507 which crashed shortly after takeoff early Saturday
from Douala, Cameroon. Ms. Kumodzi-Agbeviade, a Togolese, had been on mission in Bangui, where she had been appointed senior administrative and programme officer. The High Commissioner and all UNHCR
staff extend our deepest condolences to the families of these two valued colleagues.
