You are watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
Each year, more than 350 million people are infected with malaria. 00:00:08
One million will die. 00:00:15
Malaria counts for one death every 30 seconds in Africa alone. 00:00:18
More important than statistics are the faces of these children, each a potential victim. 00:00:27
Not long ago, malaria was a worldwide scourge. 00:00:34
Medical and social innovations eliminated the disease in some areas, but malaria is 00:00:39
still devastating many parts of the world, especially sub-Saharan Africa, where up to 00:00:44
90% of malaria deaths occur. 00:00:49
In many parts of Africa, malaria puts a strain on health care systems already overburdened. 00:00:54
The majority of cases occur in children under five, but infected pregnant women are in danger 00:01:00
of contracting anemia, putting the lives of themselves and their unborn children at risk. 00:01:06
Weakness caused from the disease in adults can severely impair their ability to work, 00:01:13
affecting their family, their community, adding to the cycle of poverty. 00:01:18
Malaria is deadly, but there are treatments and prevention tools. 00:01:28
At a cost of just $10, insecticide-treated bed nets have been shown to reduce malarial 00:01:32
deaths by up to 20%, each net lasting up to five years. 00:01:38
Changes in drug policy at the country level are also opening up the doors to the use of 00:01:45
anti-malarial drugs. 00:01:50
The challenge to make a significant impact in endemic countries is daunting, but all 00:01:53
is not lost. 00:01:58
UNICEF, its partners, and governments will rally the world on Africa Malaria Day 2007. 00:01:59
It is a day for the world to work together. 00:02:06
The treatments are available. 00:02:11
The education is there. 00:02:13
What is needed now are the resources to keep these children malaria-free. 00:02:15
This is Anmalika Okafor reporting for UNICEF Television. 00:02:21
Unite for Children. 00:02:25
