True. Bob Geldof did Live Aid, July 13th 1985. Benefit concert for Ethiopia. It saved 1,000s if not 100,000s from starvation. And most it saved went on to produce children. Now the problem is still there. THE LAND WILL NEVER SUPPORT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
The same problem magnified applies to the Earth. It can't sustain the number of people it now has. It will never sustain the number it will have in 100 years time. The Earth can't sustain the growing economies of China and India. They over produce which leads to pollution.
Vaccines, aid, charities, etc are not the answer. The answer is less people and less affluence everywhere unless we find a way to produce energy that doesn't choke the Earth and stop cutting down Rain Forest to feed people who can't stop producing or their demand for wealth.
All sounds harsh and brutal. But as I said without a big rethink the future is bleak.

Not just third and fourth world. Try starting at the Vatican. Educating someone out of their beliefs is tough.
