At least 45 children and teenagers, including an 18-month-old baby, were killed in the attacks that killed at least 320 people in Sri Lanka on Sunday, the UN said in Geneva on Tuesday.

A figure that could still increase. "The total currently is 45 children and adolescents died (...) and this figure could increase," said a spokesman for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Christophe Boulierac, pointing out that 'other young victims' are injured and are fighting for their lives.
