At 3:34 AM in Chile an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck the nation of Chile. Within hours the U.N. issued a statement saying, “We call for the international community to support the UN in taking coordinated action and urgently respond with humanitarian assistance.”

Where is this assistance to the nation of Iran? Around noon on Friday, Israeli fighter jets attacked multiple nuclear sites across the country. Spurned from that attack, violence has broken out in Israel and Saudi Arabia, while further violence is predicted for Yemen.

Yet no aid has been offered for any of these situations, from anywhere. In Chile, no deaths have been reported as of yet, however there are reports coming in of thousands and thousands of deaths in the nation of Iran alone.

Where is the help for the Middle East, or do the UN officials regard us as one would a servant who takes care of the camel?
