Accusing the international community of not supporting Aleppo

I feel sorry for the people of Aleppo, i do however find it frustrating people accusing the international community of not doing more. It isn't their children, siblings, parents and friends that will be putting their lives at risk. If the people of Syria don't deem it worthy to die for their country, why should ours? I am in support of more humanitarian aid such as food, water, temporary shelter and medial supplies.

Who isn't but it's not as simple as that is it or else they would.

Have you not seen any of the desperate videos the trapped civilians have posted online?

Syria is a proxy war. The whole problem is that other nations are involved, and fighting out their issues using Syria as a theatre.

YABU, that's an odd reaction to a horrible unfolding tragedy.
