Pakistan remains one of the deadliest countries in the world for the aid workers with 12 incidents of attacks reported on relief workers reported in the country, according to AWSD.
According to data released by the Aid Workers Security Database(AWSD), a project of Humanitarian Outcomes, in 2014 a total of 18 workers were targeted in the country, including a foreign aid worker.
Out of these, eight local workers were killed, four were injured while five others were kidnapped.
The country remains a place where aid workers are targeted with impunity as it accounted for about 6.5 per cent of 190 attacks on the humanitarian workers around the world.
The lone foreign victim, not identified by the report, was injured in an attack defined as ‘bodily assault’ by the organisation.
