Global Child Mortality Falls

The UN's childrens agency UNICEF have said that child mortality has fallen significantly over the last 20 years. In 1990 about 12 million children died before the age of 5, compared to 6.9 million. The UN say reductions have been made because of development in poorer countries as well as things like targetted immunisation and breast-feeding campaigns.
