Sad state of children of the developing world

Of the 1.9 billion children in the developing world, there are:
640 million without adequate shelter (1 in 3)
400 million with no access to safe water (1 in 5)
270 million with no access to health services (1 in 7)

Worldwide, 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5.

This is the equivalent of all the children in France, Germany, Greece and Italy combined.
