2. Not to sound cruel...
but people die. It's natural. A bunch of people die, it's a tragedy. A single person dies and it's just a normal everyday thing.
When you have people pumping out babies left and right, it's just natural that the # of people that will die in an event will be higher.
It may sound cruel to say death happens but it's true. People never learn that nature has it's ways of evening things out. You start to over populate areas and you are going to end up with things like this. These types of "trajedies" will continue to happen and attention will get diverted because there is only so much you can do.
It's real sad that helping people in these types of disasters only encourages them to get right back into the same predictament over and over. Look at the east coast as an example. Hurricanes come in and blow everything away and sure enough people are begging for money so they can build their houses right back up at the edge of the coast only to be blown away again...etc..etc..etc.
