Armed men in Sudan have raped hundreds of children, including some as young as 1, the United Nations children\u2019s agency said this week, as a catastrophic civil war nears its third year.<\/p>\n

Health providers in Sudan have recorded 221 cases of rape since the start of 2024, according to the UNICEF report<\/a>. Among the victims, 147 were girls and 74 were boys. Sixteen children were younger than 5 and four were only a year old.<\/p>\n

The report incorporates firsthand accounts by victims and witnesses, including one in which captive children are described as being selected by armed men and later returned to their quarters covered in blood and nearly unconscious. Some were subjected to gang rape.<\/p>\n

The children\u2019s agency recorded instances of serious physical injury, psychological abuse and child marriage. Some of the victims were infected with H.I.V. and other sexually transmitted viruses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
