The World Health Organization (WHO) calls attention to a growing hazard of life in the big cities of developing countries: accidents. In Venezuela, 45% of deaths among 10 to 24 year olds are due to accidents, for lack of proper care. Someone involved in an accident in Kenya is 9 times as likely to die as in the US, and an accident victim in India is up to 15 times as likely to die as one in the United Kingdom. "With fast growing cities and land increasingly crisscrossed with pavements," reports WHO, "accidents are beginning to rival infections and parasitic diseases in the toll they take of young lives."
