Unsafe tap water affects one-third


More than one-third of children and teenagers aren't drinking safe water, according to a United Nations report.

The UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and the children's fund UNICEF said nearly 21 million children under five years of age are at risk of poor drinking water condition.

Nicaragua, Honduras and Bolivia are among the worst countries, Press TV reported. Safer drinking water could improve infant mortality and malnutrition.
