This day, 23 years ago, the United Nations Assembly decided to adopt the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The international organization recommended that the countries of the region to devote one day to the children. On this anniversary Unicef Spain wanted to put the focus on child malnutrition. A problem that affects, according to the agency, 200 million children worldwide.
Consuelo Crespo, president of UNICEF Spain, has stressed that 19,000 children die every day from preventable causes, one third of them (6,400) starvation. There has been, however, significant progress in eradicating child malnutrition, set 22 years ago in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the arrival of food to the poorest countries, where it decreased by 41% mortality child through international cooperation. But serious challenges remain, according to Crespo. "Today thousands of children die because they do not get vaccines or poor hygiene."
The main causes of death in the smallest as well as the lack of food, are those related to health and lack of cleanliness. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the majority of deaths of children under five are due to respiratory infections, malaria, malaria and diarrhea. All children get these diseases usually due to lack of water sanitation, food intake in poor condition and unsafe state in which they live.

"No crisis justifies the death of a single child from preventable causes, and hunger is one of them," said Crespo. "Lack of food is directly or indirectly responsible for one in three child deaths," says the report published by Unicef. This means that globally 180 million children suffer from chronic malnutrition and 20 million suffer severely.
The president of the United Nations agency for children in Spain found that malnutrition is "nuclear cause of poverty, exclusion and vulnerability", and in turn, a "consequence" of them.
Mauritania, a good example
The African country is, according to UNICEF, an example shows that it is possible to bring international aid to reverse an effective model for improving the living conditions of its citizens. In Mauritania 87,000 children have been saved from chronic malnutrition thanks to active cooperation policies. Since 1990, the reference year for the Millennium Development Goals, this country has halved its child hunger levels, but still one in four children under five suffer from it, half of what is observed in the rest of Africa . "And in sub-Saharan Africa, around one million children die of hunger," said Crespo.
In the latest report on Mauritania presented on the occasion of Children's Day, under the title My son does not eat sand, the agency shown in Crespo's words, that "when there is political will, it has the resources and commitments international community, "the aid is achieved and" make a change in people's lives.
