Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A three-year-old girl was killed and five others were injured after a bee swarm attack in Torit County of Eastern Equatoria State on Thursday afternoon, local officials said.<\/p>\n

The girl child, identified as Sekina Otorik, died after she was among several other children stung multiple times by the bee swarm in Oronyo village.<\/p>\n

Alfred Ohia, a medical officer at Oronyo Primary Healthcare Centre, told Radio Tamazuj Friday that the injured were receiving treatment at the facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the incident, these children were brought to us, but unfortunately one of them died at the health facility and the other five children are alive. The injured are now responding to treatment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Angelina Quintino, a member of the Eastern Equatoria State Legislative Assembly representing the area confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that a swarm of bees stung a child of 3 years and died later on. What happened is shocking and this is the third time such an incident happened,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am urging the community leaders to sit down and address this issue using their traditional means so that such incidents don\u2019t happen again,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

For her part, the Director General at the State Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Forestry, Anna Itwari, said the ministry had sent a team to the scene of the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is going to Oronyo and will proceed to Lafon and when they come back, I will gather more information. They are going to make an assessment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, two children were killed when a swarm of bees attacked them in the same village.<\/p>\n
