Sudan conflict claims lives of 60 children trapped in Khartoum orphanage.

At least 60 children have died in an orphanage in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, over the past six weeks due to lack of food and fever amid fighting outside. The orphanage houses 341 children, including 165 infants between the ages of one and six months. The situation was particularly harrowing in the first three weeks of the conflict when fighting was heaviest. More than 860 civilians, including at least 190 children, have been killed and thousands of others wounded in the conflict. Over 13.6 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance in Sudan.
