I don't see a million plus raised for say the 2,000+ men, women and children who were locked into a small piece of land and had bombs dropped on them (they had nowhere to go either).

The things you cite are totally unconnected......another diversionary tactic.
People give to the charities that mean the most to them...for whatever reasons.
There is a lot of 'charity fatigue' out there. This is because many charities are run like businesses with money skimmed off the donations to pay lucrative salaries to the CEO's.
When a local dogs home goes up in flames, local people WANT to do what they can to help...purely because they know the donation is going to a LOCAL CAUSE.
There are always going to be needy people in the world.....and every time there is a disaster somewhere the Brits pull out all the stops and raise money to help.
How much of the help actually gets to the people who need it is anybody's guess.
If you really want to campaign for better care for the elderly.....then go ahead and do it.....as for orphanages.....there won't be many of those in this country(children's homes.....yes....orphanages...I don't think so).
As for the 2000+women and children being bombed.....where was this?
Was it Syria, or perhaps the mountains where IS carried out an ethnic cleansing job.....well, if it was one of those places....there are Brits who have gone out to tender humanitarian aid. Only the other day one of them was murdered.....so much for humanity, so much for charity.
