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.
