A witness has told the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry that he was sexually abused by older boys at a children’s home in Londonderry.

He also told the inquiry that the home, Termonbacca, was “run on starvation”.

The children’s home and another in Derry, Nazareth House, were run by the Sisters of Nazareth.

The Historical Abuse Inquiry is investigating abuse claims against children’s residential institutions from 1922 to 1995.

The witness lived in Termonbacca in the 1950s and 1960s after being given to a priest by his mother.
