What are the statistics on malaria?
At least a million people die from malaria each year. Some put the estimates as high as 2.7 million. 90% of the deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa. 70% of the deaths are of children under 5. That’s equivalent to one child dying of malaria in Africa every 30 seconds. Put another way, 7 jumbo jets full of children disappear because of malaria every day.
