In a report on the plight of children in the strife-torn country, a UN committee voiced deep concern over "the large number of children recruited by **n-state armed groups," and especially the Islamic State jihadists. "It is a huge, huge, huge problem," Renate Winter, a member of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC), told reporters in Geneva. The group has been targeting and attacking schools, executing teachers and subjecting children to systematic ***ual abuse, including ***ual slavery, the committee said.
