The Poodwaddle World Clock might have a delightful name but many of the statistics it provides are grim.
http://www.poodwaddle.com/clocks/worldclock/
There were about four times as many suicides in 2011 as there were war deaths.
About 800 000 to 200 000.
There were about as many malaria deaths as there were suicides.
More than a million died as a result of road accidents.
Twice as many people died through poisoning than through War.
Almost two million people died through diarrhoea.
Ten times more than in War!
A simple device like the jompy water purifier could have easily saved most of these lives.
As many people died through AIDS as those through diarrhoea!
Maternal conditions killed three times as many as War!
There is low hanging fruit here in chunks as far as saving lives is concerned.
Safer water being one of these …
