Around 6,000 children under the age of 5 die of diarrhea every day. That's about 2.2 million every year or 1 child every 14 seconds. Approximately 26,000 children under the age of 5 die every day of relatively easily treated - or preventable - conditions (mainly malnutrition, diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria). While our feelings are mostly focussed on children, do not forget that around a million adults who usually are providing for and caring for the children also die every year of the same diseases. http://rehydrate.org/diarrhoea/ http://www.child-survival.org/childsurvival/whatiscs.php http://youthink.worldbank.org/issues/environment/
