How many children die because of poverty?

22,000 children die everyday in our world.
That is equivalent to:

• 1 child dying every 4 seconds
• 15 children dying every minute
• A 2010 Haiti earthquake occurring almost every 10 days
• A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every 10 days
• An Iraq-scale death toll every 18–43 days
• Just under 8.1 million children dying every year
• Some 88 million children dying between 2000 and 2009

  The killers in this case is poverty, hunger and diseases/illnesses that could have been prevented.
