When is someone going to teach these people about sanitation about going away from wherre they sleep and digging a hole doing what they have to and then burying it, if that was good enough for the Israelites it must then be good for all, doesn't anyone teach these people about water and how to keep it clean?????????????? Like that camerman filming these terrible scenes in Somali

Situation is pretty bad for some of us here in the US too.

@Brighteyes1ful If they teach them how about the sanitation and how to get away from this crisis they wouldn't have a news to bring to the people and if there is no news no commercials by all means no money therefore nobody would. why don't u become a humanitarian worker and teach them

If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

If you teach a man how to fish, he'll feed himself for the rest of his life.

Not as bad as for those in Somalia, but as bad as in many third world countries though.

If there was a "God" would he let that happen ? Hmm think to yourself. People need to stop using "God" as an excuse not to do anything. You think because you "prayed" you actually helped? Talking to the ground or to the sky isn't going to do anything. These are our problems as a species and we need to stop putting them off and waiting for some divine intervention. If we don't do it, no one will, but hey I'm just some kid on youtube.
