Re: [Marxism] query re water and malnutrition deaths

[Debordagoria <phantasmagorias@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some sources give malnutrition death figures, while others give figures for 
deaths due to unsafe water, but clearly the two causes are closely related, as 
the WHO inicates  they write:

" Water supply, sanitation and hygiene, given their direct impact on infectious 
disease, especially diarrhoea, are important for preventing malnutrition. Both 
malnutrition and inadequate water supply and sanitation are linked to poverty. 
The impact of repeated or persistent diarrhoea on nutrition-related poverty and 
the effect of malnutrition on susceptibility to infectious diarrhoea are 
reinforcing elements of the same vicious circle, especially amongst children in 
developing countries."
