A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan suffered an accident on takeoff from New Fangak, South Sudan.
The aircraft had been chartered by NGO Nile Hope to deliver humanitarian aid to New Fangak. It had become stuck in the mud and was pushed out before attempting to take off. The Grand Caravan reportedly went off the runway and hit a tree. The right-hand wing separated and the aircraft flipped over.
Two of the five passengers suffered minor injuries.
