Description
Diarrhoeal disease is one of the greatest killers of children in the developing world and often the chief cause of child malnutrition.
Each year, in the developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, approximately 2.2 million children under five years of age die from acute diarrhoea. About 80 percent of these deaths are in the first two years of life. In the developing world as a whole, about one-third of infant and child deaths are due to diarrhoea.
Approximately 70 percent of diarrhoeal deaths are caused by dehydration - the loss of large quantities of water and salts from the body. The human body needs water to maintain enough blood and other fluids to function properly. If your body loses substantially more fluids than you are taking in, you become dehydrated.
