Even when children are in school, they are often not meeting their learning potential due to mental stunting caused by helminth infections and diarrhoea.

The main causes of child deaths are diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections (ARI), with malnutrition presumed to underlie around one half of these deaths.

The number of deaths from dehydration caused by diarrhoea has fallen from 4 million per year in 1980 to less than 3 million today.

Children (and adults) living with HIV AIDS, because of their weakened immune systems, are especially susceptible to the debilitating effects of persistent bouts of diarrhoea.

Despite the enormous strides made in lowering infant mortality, acute respiratory infections and diarrhoea still pose a major threat to child survival in the country.

Untreated wastewater may contain many pollutants, especially heavy metals, which increase the risk of intoxication and epidemics such as hepatitis A or infectious diarrhoea.52

The primary causes of child deaths worldwide are pneumonia, followed by diarrhoea, low birth weight and prematurity, asphyxia at birth and, in some regions, malaria and HIV AIDS.

This, in combination with poor knowledge of the cause and prevention of diarrhoeal disease, has contributed to a major outbreak of diarrhoea in Monrovia during the reporting period.

Household water treatment can help ensure the safety of domestic water and has been shown to have a significant impact on the prevention of diarrhoea, especially in young children.

Two new products are available for improving the management of diarrhoea in children, packets of low osmolarity ORS and zinc tablets for treatment, which UNICEF is helping to make available.

He regrets, however, that infant and under five mortality rates remain high, largely as a result of preventable or treatable causes, such as acute respiratory infections, diarrhoea, malaria and tuberculosis.

Over the long term, this training is expected to improve drinking water supplies, sanitation and food hygiene, especially with regard to controlling diarrhoea and other water borne diseases among refugees.

After an analysis of the causes of child death in the country, the King of Morocco declared that deaths due to diarrhoea would be reduced to a minimum within two years.

Offshore procurement of oral rehydration salts (ORS) sachets was therefore undertaken to supplement existing stock for prepositioning in all major centres in preparation for the expected upsurge in diarrhoea during the summer.

CDD in Morocco is being supported through inter sectoral action and is a theme for social mobilization and community action to support every family through life saving technologies related to diarrhoea management.

The most prevalent diseases continued to be malaria (accounting for over 40 per cent of morbidity rates), respiratory infections, diarrhoea, worms and skin infections, all associated with overcrowding or poor sanitary conditions.

In 1993, nearly 20 per cent of the children under five years attended a clinic because of diarrhoea, but in only 25 per cent of the cases was oral rehydration therapy prescribed.

It is targeted at five major diseases (acute respiratory infection, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, and malnutrition), which account for more than 70 per cent of deaths and medical consultations for children under five years.

The humidity from the heavy rains in combination with high temperatures during the month led to an increase in cases of diarrhoea, mainly because children were swimming in polluted rivers and irrigation canals.

13. Exclusive breast feeding protects the young infant, but as soon as other fluids or food are given, infants, particularly those living in unsanitary conditions, are exposed to higher risks of contracting diarrhoea.
