Freed aid worker’s first thought is for humanitarian work to continue

RELEASED GOAL aid worker Sharon Commins’s thoughts were for the need to continue humanitarian work and for the people of Sudan who helped secure her release, when she spoke just hours after the end of her 107-day captivity.

The 32-year-old Dubliner looked in good spirits, although much thinner than in photos made available to the media during her ordeal, when she and fellow hostage Hilda Kawuki, 42, from Uganda gave an interview in Khartoum last night.

She is due to arrive back in Dublin on board the government jet today, bringing an end to more than three months of anxious waiting for her family in Clontarf.
