Armed men are raping and sexually assaulting children as young as one during Sudan's civil war, says the UN children's agency, Unicef.

So traumatised are the survivors that some say they have attempted to end their lives.

Mass sexual violence has been widely documented as a weapon of war in the country's nearly two-year conflict.

But Unicef's report is the first detailed account about the impact of rape on young children in Sudan.
