some of the comments about "just let them die" is fucking sick, and "why don't they just move" is ignorant as shit, these are people who might have to walk 40 miles for water, they haven't got money to jump on a plane. most of these famines are caused by drought, corrupt dictators or war, and is no fault of the people that are dying, and their ignorance is only through lack of education again through lack of money. If all us western countries stopped propping up their corrupt dicators and selling them arms, maybe they would be able to support themselves.
the amount spent by developed countries on aid is relatively tiny but saves millions of lives. if our countries stopped spending on aid none of you would notice the SLIGHTEST difference to your wage packet at the end of the week. and yet this prevents millions of innoncent children dying. it's called humanity.
