(BBC) – South Sudan’s army and allied militias “abducted, torched and gang-raped girls” during fighting against rebel forces, a UN report says.
Investigators found that at least 172 women and girls were abducted and subjected to sexual violence, it added.
One woman was “dragged out of her hut and gang-raped in front of her three-year old child”, the report said.
The government denies its army has committed atrocities but says it will study the report.
The UN Mission in South Sudan (Unmiss) said abuses during the 18-month civil war had reached a new scale of intensity and horror in recent fighting in the oil-producing Unity State.
