The U.N. children’s agency warned Monday that 69 million youngsters under the age of five will die from preventable causes between now and 2030 if all countries don’t accelerate action to improve health and education for the most disadvantaged.

UNICEF said in its annual report that based on recent trends and projected population growth, 167 million children will also live in extreme poverty, 60 million won’t be attending primary school, and 750 million women will have been married as children by 2030 unless inequality is tackled now. …

What, 750 million child brides? Is UNICEF telling us to do something about Islam . . . ? (Hmm, nope.)

The West believed all the population control bull and reduced the population so Merkel could bring in Muslims to increase the population

So about 4 million kids die per year. Bring back DDT to fight malaria and you could save about 5% right off the bat:

SOURCE: WHO. About 3.2 billion people – nearly half of the world's population – are at risk of malaria. In 2015, there were roughly 214 million malaria cases and an estimated 438 000 malaria deaths. Increased prevention and control measures have led to a 60% reduction in malaria mortality rates globally since 2000. Sub-Saharan Africa continues to carry a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2015, the region was home to 89% of malaria cases and 91% of malaria deaths.

People with no access to food and water and have no future should probably rethink having children to excess.

Sam Kinison said it best.

“LIVE WHERE THE FOOD IS!!!!”

How about letting the world use DDT and allow third world recipients of aid to use fossil fuels to obtain power?

Might get a million or so deaths back a year back from malaria and other insect borne diseases, not to mention the misery disproportionally affecting the young, and using fossil fuels to pump water, resulting in better sanitation.

But no. To these scumbags, it is more important to ban DDT and limit the use of fossil fuels for recipients of foreign aid than it is to save children.

That is who they are.

Well, who decides how to equal out the “inequality”? All powerful dictators? And who defines “equal”? All powerful dictators? And once “equality” is achieved and the whole world looks like North Korea, where will the filthy elites party?

Spit.

The guys from UNICEF flew in to Monte Carlo on their private jets and wrote the report in their suites between visits to the casino, beach and restaurants.

After resuming DDT production, here’s the formula:

1. Private property
2. Rule of law
3. Unfettered Capitalism

We’ve poured billions into foreign aid already, and as much more through the UN.
All we got was a permanent Palestinian state on welfare and no major change in the developing world until they started to abandon socialism.
