(19) KNOW YOUR WORLD: FACTS ABOUT WORLD HUNGER

Today there are 821 million people who do not have enough to eat. This is more than the 795 million in 2016, although still down from about 900 million in 2010. Nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 are attributable to under-nutrition. This translates into the unnecessary loss of about 3 million young lives a year. Globally, 155 million children under 5 still suffer from stunting. In 2016, about two out of every four stunted children lived in South Asia and one in three in sub-Saharan Africa. Credit: Unifeed
