Five children fighting for life in Nice hospital

The children are being treated at the Fondation Lenval paediatric hospital in the French Riviera city, where a French-Tunisian drove a truck through a Bastille Day crowd on Thursday, killing 84. Ten children and teenagers were among the dead.

Lenval spokeswoman Stephanie Simpson said: “Five children are still in critical condition and one child has stabilised”, adding the hospital had received 30 children the night of the attack.
