Loss of 9.7 Million Children Unacceptable, Says UNICEF UNITED NATIONS - The sharp decline in deaths among infants and children worldwide during the past century is "one of the great success stories in international public health", the U.N. children's agency UNICEF said Tuesday. The annual number of child deaths has been halved, from roughly 20 million in 1960 to 9.7 million in 2006. But a closer look at these trends reveals that progress has been unevenly distributed, says the annual "State of the World's Children 2008", released by UNICEF.
