Feb 17, 7:43 AM ESTU.N.: Hunger Kills 18,000 Kids Each Day By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer   UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Some 18,000 children die every day because of hunger and malnutrition and 850 million people go to bed every night with empty stomachs, a "terrible indictment of the world in 2007," the head of the U.N. food agency said.

James Morris … said that while the percentage of people who are hungry and malnourished has decreased from a fifth of the world's population to a sixth of the population, the actual number of hungry people is growing by about 5 million people a year because of the rising population.

750 children die each hour --from hunger and malnutrition

A child dies every 4.8 seconds --from hunger and malnutrition

By 11:00 Thursday morning, 55,500 children will have died -- from hunger and malnutrition

If we fill every seat in Razorback Stadium,by Friday’s lunch they all will have died --

from hunger and malnutrition
