WFP Statement on Helicopter incident in Solle

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: On 12 August, a WFP-chartered helicopter landed in Solle, north-west Burkina Faso, to deliver humanitarian cargo.

Shortly after landing, an explosion occurred nearby. One crew member and one government partner sustained injuries and are currently receiving medical care. The helicopter received minor damage but was safely relocated away from Solle.

The incident is under investigation, and air operations to Solle are temporarily suspended. WFP's priority remains the safety and well-being of staff and partners, and we remain committed to reaching vulnerable communities with humanitarian assistance.

WFP's humanitarian air operations are critical for delivering life-saving assistance to hard-to-reach communities most in need.

In conflict-affected regions of Burkina Faso, WFP plans to reach 315,000 of the most vulnerable people during the lean season (June-August) when families' food stocks are exhausted.

WFP calls on all parties to adhere to their obligations under International Humanitarian Law, including the protection of aid workers and humanitarian assets.
