DARFUR: AFRICAN UNION-UN MISSION RECOVERS SECOND BODY OF PEACEKEEPER
KILLED IN FLOODSNew York, Sep 10 2013 7:00PMThe body of a second
African Union-United Nations peacekeeper gone missing while aiding
flood victims has been recovered in Darfur, a UN spokesperson
announced today.

"The African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) reports
that yesterday it recovered the remains of the second of four
peacekeepers who were reported missing following floods late in
August," the spokesperson told journalists in New York.

Six AU-UN peacekeepers were swept away by powerful currents on 25
August while escorting UN World Food Programme (WFP) trucks to
Masteri, west Darfur.

The incident occurred when the peacekeepers attempted to pull out
their truck which was stuck in the mud of a river valley near Nioro
village approximately 30 kilometres southwest of El Geneina

A rescue team later found two of the peacekeepers alive. One other
body has since been recovered.

The search continues for the two peacekeepers still missing, the Mission said.

Established in July 2007, UNAMID has the protection of civilians as
its core mandate. In addition, the peacekeeping operation is tasked
with facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and assisting with
an inclusive peace process in Darfur, where fighting broke out nine
years ago, pitting Government forces and allied militiamen against
rebel groups.

In recent weeks, the UN and its partners in Sudan have been working to
provide emergency support hundreds of thousands of people that have
been affected by flooding.

According to Government estimates, as many as 530,000 people have been
affected by the floods triggered by heavy rains across the country,
and at least 74,000 houses have been damaged or destroyed by the
rapidly rising waters.Sep 10 2013 7:00PM
