Contaminated water and bad sanitation were responsible for the deaths of 1,6 million children under the age of 5 last year – or stunning 4.500 everyday – the UN health agency (WHO) said Tuesday.

More than 1,1 billion people live without safe drinking water, and 2,6 billion do not have basic sanitation, the World Health Organization said in a UN report on water and sanitation conditions around the globe.
