LONDON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - There were around 11 million more 
cases of malaria in 2023 than in 2022, up to an estimated 263 
million, according to a new World Health Organization report,
marking another year of negligible progress against the age-old killer.

There were 597,000 deaths, a similar total to 2022, the vast majority among African children aged 
under 5 years old, the WHO said.

"No-one should die of malaria; yet the disease continues to disproportionately harm people living in the African region, especially young children and pregnant women," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, in a statement.

Malaria cases and deaths fell significantly between 2000 and 2015, but since then progress has stalled and 
even reversed, with a particular jump in mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Case numbers are not only going up as populations grow.
In 2015, there were 58 cases for every 1,000 people deemed to be at risk;
in 2023, there were 60.4, nearly three times higher than the WHO´s target.
There were 13.7 deaths per 100,000 people at risk, more than twice the target.

There are new tools available to fight the mosquito-borne 
disease, including two vaccines as well as next-generation bed nets, 
but climate change, conflict and displacement, drug and insecticide resistance and a lack of funding have all 
combined to challenge the response, the WHO said, despite progress in some countries.

In 2023, $4 billion was available to fight malaria, 
compared with an estimated $8.3 billion needed,
the U.N. health agency added. (Reporting by Jennifer
