A driver to the World Health Organization (WHO) identified
as Pyae Sone Win Maung, has been killed in Myanmar.
Pyae Sone died while collecting COVID-19 monitoring samples.
According to BBC, he was driving a well-marked United
Nations vehicle when he was hit by gunfire in Rakhine State.
Reacting, the UN office in Myanmar expressed sadness over
the death of the 28-year-old.
It revealed that many civilians have been killed as conflict
between the military and the armed ethnic Arakan Army group escalated in recent
weeks.
Speaking on the development, the driver’s father, Htay Win
Maung, said his heart was “broken”.
He said, “I am trying to calm myself, thinking he died in
serving his duty at the frontline.
“He went there in the midst of fighting when many people
didn’t dare to go.”
