U.S. condemns murder of ICRC’s health worker, Hauwa Liman

The Embassy of the United States, Abuja has condemned the murder of Hauwa Muhammed Liman, a health worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The 24-year-old midwife, who was abducted in March alongside other health workers, was shot dead on Monday by a Boko Haram faction, the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP).

Her murder came nearly one month after another health worker, Saifura Ahmed was killed by the insurgents.
