Starvation as a cause of death among children has been reduced by about 90% since the overthrow of the Taliban. Healthcare for women and children is being improved on a daily basis and stability is being achieved although it has been a costly venture.
It is estimated the about 500 children got polio in Afghanistan in the year of 2012. More and more children get polio every year. And many people are trying to help the children of Afghanistan.

More than you will ever count in your lifeEdited by CLFoYou 12/2/09: About 16,000 children die of starvation each day. That's one child every 5 seconds. This is not counting adults.

Most of them were killed with poison gas, many were killed by starvation, or were shot.
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.
On child many children.
