From natural disasters to terrorist attacks, to devastation impacting the lives of millions across the globe, support and attention toward these grief-stricken countries and communities are more important than ever

However, after one famous family name has continuously made headlines over the last couple of weeks, growing resentment toward the media has taken presence. When news broke that not only Kim Kardashian-West was expecting a third child in early 2017 via surrogate, but sisters Kylie AND Khloe were also rumored to be expecting in the preceding and succeeding weeks of Kim's due date, news outlets everywhere directed their attention from the tragedy (and successes) that people all over the world are facing toward the famous reality stars seemingly-continuous drama. But, that's the problem.

The media's hyper-focused attention on the Kardashian-Jenner clan's ongoing shenanigans has shadowed what's most important right now: current events that are changing the world. Here are 14 current events that are more important than the Kardashian pregnancy trifecta:

1. Earthquake victims in Mexico are still buried alive.
