Flash: Another set of 234 Women, Children rescued - Sambisa forest

After seeing photos of the malnourished kids rescued earlier on, you can't help but thank God for these rescues. 234 more women and children have been rescued, bringing the total number now to 687.

A statement from Defence headquarters said the women and children have been evacuated to join others at the screening center.

“This set is in addition to the previous individuals earlier rescued during the ongoing operation in the area” it said.

The assault on the forest is continuing from various fronts and efforts are concentrated on rescuing hostages of civilians and destroying all terrorists camps and facilities in the forest.
