Less than 10 million children younger than five died from disease in 2007 in the best year for infant mortality since detailed studies have been conducted.
Nearly 9.7 million children or more than 26,000 each day die each year before their fifth birthday from diseases from pneumonia to malaria, most from preventable causes, the UN Children's Fund said yesterday.
