US NGO Warns Africa of Diarrhoea

The United States Coalition for Child Survival has warned that diarrhoea might wreak havoc in poor countries in Africa.

The organisation points out that the disease is already killing 1.6 million children a year in these countries.

It says millions of babies between birth and the age of five die, mostly from preventable diseases. It further estimates that over half a million women in poor countries also die from pregnancy-related diseases, due to unsafe drinking water and malnutrition.
