Kids Rights Index Claims
The Kids Rights Index, based on data gathered by United Nations agencies, also recognized that more than a third of the world's children (about 820 million) were currently exposed to heatwaves. Dutch NGO Kids Rights said water scarcity has affected 920 million children worldwide, while diseases such as malaria and dengue have affected nearly 600 million children. That is, almost one out of every four children in the world is badly affected by it.
