The number of children under the age five who die annually has plummeted from 12 million in 1990 to 7.6 million in 2010, UNICEF and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have said in a new report.
"The two United Nations agencies estimate in the report that the drop means about 12,000 more children's lives are being saved each day"I think this is great. I know that we have a UNICEF club at our school, i may not be in it but when they ask for a donation i always give any money i have. Personaly i have a strong belief in children bein able to live there lifes and nowing that just a few dollars or cents add up to help a child in need. That is just thw warmest feeling. these children have at least food and medical help.
"About half of all under-five deaths in the world took place in just five countries in 2010; India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan and China"
This just makes me thankful for bein alive and born in the U.S. sincerely. knowing that its getting better is awesome but the fact that its just goin down and isn't a rarity is sad. betwenn 1990 to 2010 the mortality rate has gone down around 5%.
