BOONE, N.C. — Samaritan’s Purse aid worker Flavia Wagner was released August 30 after being held captive for 105 days in Sudan.

Wagner, 35, is exhausted but in good health, according to Samaritan’s Purse. She is currently in Nyala waiting to be reunited with her family in the United States.

In May, two Samaritan’s Purse employees and a Sudanese driver were abducted. The three hostages were part of a 10-person team doing educational assessments in local communities in the region.  Eight armed men stopped the two-vehicle convoy 15 miles southwest of Nyala in Sudan’s Darfur region.

The two Sudanese men were released unharmed and without explanation one week later.

During her captivity, Wagner was allowed to contact her family and Samaritan’s Purse staff numerous times.  

During the process, Samaritan’s Purse worked with U.S. and Sudanese government officials to secure her release.

Samaritan’s Purse says it has provided over  $83 million in assistance to Sudan over the past decade.
