In the time between 2000 and 2022 child mortality (children dying up to an age of five years) dropped by 51 percent, a report by UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) finds. Measures such as vaccination, the provision of clean water, and the fight against malaria made this possible. More must be done to bring the numbers further down, peace being most important.
