“At the same time as events such as those currently occurring in #Turkey and #Syria, other ‘silent’ catastrophes are taking place worldwide. […] They have always been there. […] One of these silent #catastrophes is the young children dying daily from preventable diseases. More than 1,300 children die every day from #malaria alone, which can be prevented by providing simple interventions like mosquito nets. These deaths are like an #earthquake occurring every day. And because this suffering goes largely unnoticed by the world, donations in fields like this are low — even though the life of a child can be saved here with just a few thousand dollars, and many more children can be saved from pain and suffering.”
