People relate to ONE creature or human in distress. They can see it and
hear it, or if reported in the media, imagine doing so. When it is
hundreds or thousands in distress, not so much. People just can't wrap
their heads around it. That is why charities like 'save the children',
et al, spotlight ONE kid in the ad.

Pretty much every time the media reports on a person in distress, the
checks and offers start rolling in. But when they report on a large
problem that will take an ongoing effort to solve, not.
