Well, it is humanitarian disaster. It's not exactly a sighting of Maddy from some random Belgian printed on the front of NOTW.
If you're talking about compassion fatigue then I guess I can see where you're coming from. I think we get used to hearing about a lot of people dying in dirt poor parts of the world like a forensic examiner gets used to the sight dead murder victims everyday.
Sorry if that sounds a bit dark, but I hope you get my meaning.
