Global Economic & Humanitarian Balance Sheet

 

OR

 

Around the world, some 26,500 children die every day.

That is equivalent to:

• 1 child dying every 3 seconds
• 18 children dying every minute
• Almost 10 million children dying every year
• Some 60 million children dying between 2000 and 2006

The silent killers are poverty, hunger, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. In spite of the scale of this daily/ ongoing catastrophe, it rarely manages to achieve, much less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage.
