My thoughts exactly. There is no point to this thing.

Tons of people across the world have the means to significantly improve those people's lives and send incredible amounts of supplies etc. Not saying there's only one evil regime in the world...

I'm gonna praise them when they start treating all their citizens civilly and when the sheikhs give away their wealth to help.

Not when they give away old shit they don't need.

Nah, I'm with that guy. This sub of so often has shit posted that isn't really uplifting when you think about it.

The sheikhs have so much money, they could provide new housing to all the victims and that'd barely make a dent in their finances.

Instead they just give away shit they don't need anymore to boost their PR somehow.

I know that technically it's a good thing, but I oppose praising low effort "charity" like that.

Yeah, I can give away my old socks with a hole in one of them if there's a sock crisis in town. But I can well afford a few dozen pairs even without going broke, bah, without this impacting my life significantly. Am I really praise-worthy enough to post news about me giving away my old socks on the Internet? I hardly think so.
