  1. According to UN data, 165 million children worldwide are too small for their age, or stunted, due to chronic malnutrition. Three quarters of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In sub-Saharan Africa, 40% of children are affected; in South Asia, 39%. 3.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year in sub-Saharan Africa - that's about half of the world's deaths in this age group. Worldwide, nearly every second death in children under the age of five is due to malnutrition. 0:37

  2. In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period.
