How many children die of poverty each year?

Answer 1

Well in 2008, 1.5 million died from diseases (completely preventable by vaccines) according to the WHO [1]. Each year, about 1 million babies will also die partly from being born too soon - which is also preventable [2].

So when Peter Singer says just 27 000 children per day from preventable diseases (in his book, the Life You Can Save [3]), that would be very conservative.

Although that is still 18 preventable deaths in the time it took to read this answer (about 1 minute). Maybe that is why Singer says - don't make the whole thing your problem, but make it is important to make it a little bit your problem.
