More than 100,000 children ‘forced from homes in Mali’

The charity, Save the Children, says more than 100,000 children have been displaced by recent conflict in Mali.

A third of a million children are not being educated as insecurity has forced hundreds of schools to close.

The aid group said a fifth of Mali’s population was now in need of humanitarian support.

There has been an upsurge in communal clashes in northern and central Mali, and Islamist militant violence is increasing across the Sahel.
