Dakar: More than 18 million children in Africa will be orphaned by Aids by the end of the decade if more is not done to combat the pandemic, the United Nations said.
Millions of children already orphaned or infected by the disease were being overlooked as governments and donors drew up strategies to fight HIV/Aids. This oversight was hobbling the development of some of the world's poorest countries, it said.
"The number of orphans will continue to rise for at least the next decade and progress in education, health and development will remain a distant dream," said Esther Guluma, head of UN children's fund Unicef in West and Central Africa.
