At least a dozen UN-affiliated personnel believed killed in Ethiopian crash
At least a dozen people affiliated with the United Nations were among those killed in the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet near Addis Ababa, a UN source says.
“It is expected that a least a dozen of the victims were affiliated with the UN,” the source says, adding that freelance interpreters traveling to a UN conference on the environment might also be among the dead.
Authorities said 157 people were killed, when the Boeing 737 crashed shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa, on a flight to Nairobi, where the UN conference was being held.
