UNITED NATIONS - South Africa has the most Aids orphans in the world because of its denial of the epidemic, a UN Children's Fund report has found.

The report said the world's response to the need to protect and support HIV-infected and affected children was insufficient. It found that 15million children under the age of 18 in the world were Aids orphans.
Almost half of them were themselves HIV-positive and living in orphanages or with family members chronically ill from the virus. - Sapa
