Six Red Cross workers killed in Nigeria air strike
Six Red Cross workers were among more than 100 people killed when a Nigerian air force jet accidentally bombed a camp for people displaced by Boko Haram, the International Committee of the Red Cross says.
“We regret that among the casualties of today’s air strikes in Rann, there are six Nigerian RC members killed and 13 wounded,” an ICRC spokeswoman tells AFP in a text message.
