57.2 million people die each year or 156,712 every day
or 6530 per hour or 1.814 per second
Every 6 hours more children die of
malnutrition than the number of US soldiers lost in the whole Iraq war.
Every 12 hours more children die of Malaria than the number of US
soldiers lost in the whole Iraq war.
Every
day more children die of diarrhea than the number of US soldiers lost in
the whole Iraq war. Why doesn't the US media
campaign against malnutrition, malaria and diarrhea?
Obviously the US media DOESN'T CARE about the thousands of children
who die every day from preventable maladies. All they care
about is their anti-Bush and anti-war agenda.
