Do you think firefighters are told to blindly run into fires if theres ANY chance they could survive ?

Its easy to pass judgement sitting here , but we DONT know the whole story , sure you can have an opinion but i certainly hope your rational enough to understand where are others with different opinions.

Have you ever seen the disease's the people there have ? worms growing out of your body and stuff, ebola , flesh eating shit , its scary stuff, and if you were right there in the midst of it, the last thing you want to be doing is touching an obviously sick person. You would then have to be quarantined and treated. the doctors there wear gloves for good reason. i doubt they would be running up to save the child either without protective gloves and stuff.

But like i said im not disagreeig with you that in the scenario you are likely envisioning that this guy would have to be a real asshole.

Theres lots of factors we dont know..

From the picture it appears the dude is alone wandering around till he spot a child dying and does nothing.

Thats highly unlikely. Whats more likely is he is in a vehicle with a security team and other journalists, who are touring the food camps. they are likely told rerpeatedly by the security NOT to touch the famine victims.. they are also likely very familiar and are told stories of other journalists who didnt heed such advice and ended up with worms growing out of their face and stuff..

Its also very likely that with the very few amount of doctors per person that they prob would not try to save her.. In scenarios when there are more victims than doctors , they try to save those who stand the most chance of surviving not those in most need of attention..

But i suppose its all relative.. you know children just like her are dying yet you are doing the same thing.. nothing.. You talk about it with your friends but you arent there saving them.
