It is no harm in debates like this to remind people of some basic facts, if for no other reason than to ensure we double our efforts to help the people concerned. Some 1.2 billion people live on less than $1 a day, 2.8 billion people live on less than $2 a day and 2.4 billion people lack the basic sanitation facilities we all enjoy. Some 11 million children under five die annually in developing countries, mostly from infectious diseases, while more than 100 million, including 60% of girls, do not have basic primary school education, facilities we enjoy.
