Malnutrition is an underlying key factor for many of the diseases children die of. For example, if a malnutritioned child dies of tuberculosis, did it starve? Not literally --- however, it only got the tuberculosis because of the lack of food.

If we look at the question like that, then for 2000, then the answer is: 10 Million children died because of lack of food (as stated in the Lancet).

The 'pure' starvation numbers are lower, but hard to get, because many governments hide starvation numbers behind other diseases.
