On Instagram, Korie Robertson said that she and her daughter, Sadie, had traveled to Somalia to help deliver food to 50,000 people in the midst of a severe drought.

"We spent 3 days there and fell in love. The hope-filled work being done in a difficult place was incredibly inspiring, life-changing," she said.

Just a few hours after flying out of Mogadishu, the Robertson's learned that a massive truck bomb had detonated not even a mile from their hotel, killing at least 320 and injuring hundreds more.

"Heartbroken! Reports say it's the worst the city has ever experienced. I'm almost home now and still can't find the words," she said. "Thinking of our new friends there. The mamas, babies, teenagers ... strong, kind, beautiful people."

Korie asked for prayers for the "victims, their families, our friends."

"The country is in mourning," she said. "God be with them. #prayformogadishu 'Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,' says the LORD. 'I will protect them from those who malign them.' Psalm 12:5."

Also on Instagram, Sadie said she was "heartbroken" by the attack, which was later claimed by the Islamist militant group al-Shabaab.

"I have spent the past 4 days in Mogadishu, Somalia," she said, adding that the four days were filled with "love, connection, friendship, passion, and hope." (Screengrab: Sadie and Korie Robertson in Somalia/Instagram)

She continued, "1 hour after our plane took off this morning a massive bomb went off less than a half mile from the hotel I have been staying at and very near to the homes of all of my friends there. The whole city shook and the whole city is shaken. The area at this point is unrecognizable."
