Fighting kills more than 70 children at Sudan orphanage

Clashes first erupted mid-April between Sudan’s military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

CAIRO (AP) — About 300 infants, toddlers and older children have been rescued from an orphanage in Sudan’s capital after being trapped there while fighting raged outside, aid officials said Thursday. The evacuation came after 71 children died from hunger and illness in the facility since mid-April.
