The World Population Is Expected to Hit 8 Billion Today

UN says that there'll be a new milestone in human development, as the world population is expected to hit 8 billion today. The agency adds that this unprecedented growth is due to improvements in public health, medicine and high levels of fertility in some countries.

I am proud of all
