What they failed to cover were some very serious crises facing humanity today. I guess they're just not glamorous enough for prime time.
Fortunately, however, some people are paying attention. That's why, each year, the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders publishes a list of the top 10 most underreported humanitarian stories.
Here is this year's list:
• Displaced Fleeing War in Somalia Face Humanitarian Crisis
• Political and Economic Turmoil Sparks Health-Care Crisis in Zimbabwe
• Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Spreads As New Drugs Go Untested
• Expanded Use of Nutrient Dense Ready-to-Use Foods Crucial for Reducing Childhood Malnutrition
• Civilians Increasingly Under Fire in Sri Lankan Conflict
• Conditions Worsen in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
• Living Precariously in Colombia's Conflict Zones
• Humanitarian Aid Restricted in Myanmar
• Civilians Caught Between Armed Groups in Central African Republic
• As Chechen Conflict Ebbs, Critical Humanitarian Needs Still Remain

It's really sad
There are so many stories that go untold. It saddens me, because I feel if more of these kinds of stories were mainstreamed more people would step up to the plate, at least in a humanitarian sense. by Cheri Roberts (16 articles, 15 quicklinks, 10 diaries, 435 comments) on Monday, Dec 31, 2007 at 5:52:55 PM  (0+)
