The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) in South Sudan says a child was killed when one of its planes hit a house as it attempted to land during a thunderstorm in the capital, Juba.
The Cargo plane, which was contracted to airdrop food, hit a tree and the metal roof of the house after its main landing gear collapsed when it tried to land.
The UN said an official investigation is under way to determine the cause of the accident.
WFP South Sudan country director Adnan Khan assured that the un would provide support to the grieving family.
