For example, for brothers and sisters, it's siblings.

Sorry, there is no longer such a term in English.
"askoxford.com" answers the question "Is there a collective term for 'nieces and nephews'?" thus:
"No, though it would be very useful. In fact nephew used to be used regardless of sex, but this usage is long extinct. Older use of the word cousin for a range of blood relations would have encompassed nephews and nieces, but no specific term is now available."

Wow, I don't think there is a name for it. I've never thought of that before. There isn't a collective name for Uncles and Aunts either.
