Working on adoption stuff today and came across these horrible statistics from a DR Congo agency... Children die faster in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) than in all but 10 other countries in the world, according to United Nations statistics. A house-to-house survey by the International Rescue Committee found that the child death rate was four times that for Africa as a whole. If conditions remain unchanged, 515 of every 1,000 children will die before turning 5, the organization said. In developed nations such as the United States, the comparable statistic is six deaths for every 1,000 children.
