The answer is:
Six. More than 9 million children under age 5 die every year, and malnutrition accounts for more than one-third of these deaths. Most of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Okay so I’m pretty much the last person to get to answer today (my kids have had the stomach bug for the past week….interesting timing…makes me appreciate what we’ve been blessed with…that they aren’t going to die from a virus we casually just shrug off, “Oh it will run it’s course…” when millions of children die from illnesses less severe).
I’m going to go with 12 also.
10 children die every minute.
Amen Sonya–the stimulus money could save the lives of over 2 million kids
12 children…WAY too many. Makes me wish they would spend the stimulus money another way.
(12) Twelve children die every minute.
12 children
Twelve die 12 every minute from hunger.
Twenty every minute from poverty-related causes in general.
12 children under 5 die every minute.
(and that is just hunger)
12 children under five die every minute
12 children under 5.
Each minute.
12 children
20.8 children a minute
12 children per minute will die of hunger related causes. đ
