Copenhagen (March 10, 2019) -- It is with profound sadness that Save the Children confirms the loss of one of our dear colleagues, Tamirat Mulu Demessie, in the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 from Addis Ababa to Nairobi earlier today. Tamirat Mulu Demessie served via Save the Children Denmark as a Child Protection in Emergencies Technical Adviser, working tirelessly to ensure that vulnerable children are safe during humanitarian crises. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very difficult time.
