Hunger and malnutrition are killing nearly six million children a year, and more people are malnourished in sub-Saharan Africa this decade than in the 1990s, according to a UN report released today.

SEVEN years after the target was set, the world is well below the goal of cutting in half the number of hungry people by 2015 and may not even reach that goal by 2030, a new study by a UN food body has found.
