We hear about Gaza and the suffering that is taking place, but we hear nothing about the Sudan where the suffering dwarfs that of Gaza. Why?
From Samy Magdy, Associated Press CAIRO -- A ruinous conflict raging for about a year between rival generals in Sudan risks creating the world’s largest hunger crisis, the top U.N. food official warned Wednesday as global attention has been focused on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Thousands of people have been killed, including between 10,000 and 15,000 people, when paramilitary forces and allied Arab militias rampaged through a Darfur town last year.” There are reasons Gaza is reported and Sudan is ignored and none of them are good.
