10M children worldwide die from lack of health care

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — More than 200 million children worldwide under age 5
do not get basic health care, leading to nearly 10 million deaths annually from
treatable ailments like diarrhea and pneumonia, a U.S.-based charity said
Wednesday.
Nearly all of the deaths occur in the developing world, with poor children
facing twice the risk of dying compared to richer children, according to Save
the Children's global report.
