According to countdeath.com, 62 million people died last year. That equates to roughly 170,000 deaths that occur every day. Think about that. 170,000. Each day, of every month, of every year. Interestingly, malnutrition/starvation isn't even in the top 20 causes of death.

Should each of us carry around the guilt of allowing this to happen, when we could have done something?

My personal answer is no, but I'm only providing statistics here...enjoy!
