Going onto the UN website (which essentially runs the world and is very involved in international aid) reminded me of a post I saw on tumblr (bonus link: http://stunningpicture.tumblr.com/post/93883138612/i-dont-know-shit-about-photography-but-the) which inspired me to do a little more research. I've always been a little pessimistic about intentions of governments, lack of what seesm to be logical humanity, and whatnot. And since I remember some middle eastern conflict from several months last year, I think I'm interested in the controversial actions and nonactions of the UN regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, focusing especially on the international/humanitarian aid that is given, and how it is received and used (also how the Israeli side comes into the picture).
It may be a little too broad right now, but I'm willing to whittle it down.
