UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations aid chief Valerie Amos plans to step down at the end of March after more than four years in the position, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced on Wednesday.
"Ms. Amos has tirelessly advocated for people around the world affected by disaster and conflict," Ban said in a statement. "For her, people have always come first. She also worked closely with humanitarian workers who often risk their own lives to serve people most in need."
