Iraq - "Children 'starving' in new Iraq" blares this BBC headline. The article quotes a UN report that says: "Malnutrition rates in children under five have almost doubled since the US-led invasion - to nearly 8% by the end of last year, it says. " Which is strange since this same UN said this before the war: "Almost half of Iraq’s total population is aged under 18. Even before the conflict began, many children were highly vulnerable to disease and malnutrition. One in four children aged under five is chronically malnourished. One in eight die before their fifth birthday." Correct me if I'm wrong, but 1 in 4 is 25%. So how is 8% now double 25% then? I'll post the UN article citing a 25% rate before the war, next.
