This is the best summary I could come up with:
Emma Igual, the Spanish director of Road to Relief, and Anthony Ihnat, a Canadian colleague, died on Saturday as their vehicle drove towards Bakhmut.
The aid workers had left from Slovyansk and were headed to the Bakhmut area to assess the needs of civilians “caught in crossfire” in the town of Ivanivske, the statement said.
Mr Ihnat was described in an online tribute by fellow NGO Action Beyond Words as “an unbelievably gentle, kind guy who would light up any room”.
In its latest report, published last week, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that there had been 100 “security incidents” affecting aid work this year.
“Attacks impacting distribution points have steadily increased throughout the year, forcing a temporary suspension of aid on many occasions,” it said.
In January, British nationals Chris Parry and Andrew Bagshaw were killed as they tried to evacuate civilians in Soledar, north of Bakhmut, as Russia’s Wagner mercenary group closed in.
