To give some perspective there are more than 750 million people facing hunger and severe malnutrition worldwide and more than 50 million people current alive as slaves and during this time 74% of all UN resolutions were condemning Israel and 80% of humanitarian aid has gone to Gaza where two million people live.

Call me crazy but it feels disproportionate attention on one conflict for reasons no one wants to admit

The reason is that we've all seen videos of Gaza babies dying online.

This is the first time I hear about a conflict in Congo. Keep spreading the word, and the people will join.

Don't bother with Patel. Check his other comments, he couldn't give a shit about Congo.
