Five people were killed on Tuesday when a cargo plane carrying fuel for the UN’s World Food Programme crashed near South Sudan’s capital Juba, airport officials said.
The aircraft — a Soviet-era Antonov An-26 transport plane — crashed shortly after taking off from Juba’s international airport, killing everyone on board.
According to sources, One is a South Sudanese, two are Sudanese and two are Ukrainians. The cargo plane belonging to a local operator was reportedly carrying 28 barrels of fuel for the WFP to Maban, a district housing more than 100,000 refugees.
According to the airport’s director general Kur Kuol, it hit a mango tree and caught fire. “The people on board were burnt. They are in bad shape,” said Kuol.
