(BBC): The conflict in Sri Lanka has killed hundreds of children and left many more injured, the United Nations’ children’s agency, Unicef, has said. Moreover, thousands of children are at risk because of "a critical lack of food, water and medicines", the agency says.

They are now cornered in a small patch of jungle and coastal area in Mullaitivu district.
