772 million people around the world still lack even basic access<\/strong>, according to the\u00a0United Nations,<\/a>\u00a0who declared March 22 World Water Day.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact that\u00a0unsafe water, causing diseases like cholera, typhoid and hepatitis A, is a bigger cause of human death annually than disasters and conflicts combined.<\/strong>\u00a0This is according to data by\u00a0PRIO and the Uppsala Conflict Data Program<\/a>\u00a0as well as the\u00a0International Insurance Institute.<\/a><\/p>\n

Children especially are affected by these deadly waterborne diseases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UN and WHO joint monitoring program on safe drinking water\u00a0<\/a>found that people lacking access to it are currently predominantly located in Africa.<\/p>\n
