The plane crashed at Unity State in South Sudan on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
Samaritan’s Purse deputy director in South Sudan, Bikram Rai, said the aircraft, operated by Nari Air, was taking 2 tonnes of supplies from the capital Juba to people displaced by floods.

On its website, Nari Air says it operates out of South Sudan and offers a range of services including chartered services for cargo and passengers.
