The British aid group Oxfam has suspended operations in Afghanistan’s northern Badakhshan province following the death of three of its workers in a roadside bomb attack, the Guardian writes.

The victims, two paid employees and a volunteer, were all Afghan. Oxfam said it would temporarily halt its antipoverty work in the region pending a security review but that it did not plan to leave Afghanistan.

In the past year, insurgents have dramatically increased their presence in Badakhshan, where 10 medical workers were killed last month.

Humanitarian agencies in southern Sudan say soldiers in the region are looting food convoys and attacking aid workers, reports the Associated Press. Relief organizations say they have documented 80 incidents of obstruction, vehicle hijackings, or harassment of aid workers by troops since February.
