MOGADISHU —<\/strong> Violent attacks on humanitarian workers operating in Somalia decreased in the first six months to June 30, or second quarter (Q2), compared to a similar period last year, the United Nations humanitarian agency said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said no aid worker was killed or injured in the Q2 between April and June compared to the first quarter (Q1) that saw one humanitarian worker killed.<\/p>\n
