VULNERABLE GROUPS AT PARTICULAR RISK
"The Internal Displacement
Monitoring Centre is especially concerned about the situation of people who have
been made particularly vulnerable as a result of their displacement, especially
women, children, those with disabilities, and older people. It has also been
reported that those injured are afraid to go to hospitals because of the
bombings. All parties to the conflict must refrain from recruiting and using
child soldiers and must respect the safety and physical security of civilians.
Reports of rapes and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence,
abductions, mutilations and killings in northern and central Mali are of
particular concern.........."
