Around 300 children have been rescued from an orphanage in Sudan - after at least 71 died

The International Committee of The Red Cross, which assisted with the evacuation, said the children, aged between one month and 15 years, were relocated after securing a safe corridor to Madani, the capital of Jazira province, about 85 miles southeast of Khartoum."The safe movement of these incredibly vulnerable children to a place of safety offers a ray of light in the midst of the ongoing conflict in Sudan," Mandeep O'Brien, a UNICEF representative in Sudan, said.
Almost all reported cases of sexual attacks were blamed on the RSF, which have not responded to requests for comment.
