A cargo plane chartered by IOM carrying items for IDPs crashed in Bentiu on February 17, killing one and injuring three.
From additional information now received it appears that the plane, while attempting to land, struck one or two vehicles, which were parked too close to the runway, with the wing.
The aircraft, registered in Kenya as 5Y-HAJ and manufactured in 1980 with serial number C/N 1776, was chartered by IOM, the International Organization on Migration, which had planned to send supplies for internally-displaced people who fled from the fighting between the two opposing political factions of the SPLM.
The injured crew members, as well as the body of the deceased crew member who died in the accident, were airlifted by UNMISS personnel back to Juba.
