THE CORNER
Today's good news: The number of deaths worldwide among children under 5 dropped to a record low of 9.7 million in 2006, reflecting progress in areas such as malaria prevention, childhood immunizations and breastfeeding rates, global health officials said yesterday. ... Last year, there were 72 deaths of children under 5 for every 1,000 live births, compared with 93 deaths per 1,000 births in 1990 and 184 deaths per 1,000 births in 1960. Over the decades, that is a decline of more than 60 percent, UNICEF officials said. (In the United States, the under-5 mortality rate is about eight deaths per 1,000 live births.)
