UNICEF-- Africa Aids orphans may top 18m
UN charity Unicef says 18 million children in sub-Saharan Africa could be orphaned by Aids by the end of 2010.
It also says that every minute, a child is infected with HIV and another child dies from an Aids-related illness.
The charity says children are being overlooked in the global fight against HIV and Aids.
Unicef says only 5% of HIV-positive children get medical help, and fewer than 10% of the 15 million already orphaned by Aids get financial support.
