>I disagree, simply saving someone's life from a sickness doesn't matter, if they die from starvation because there is not enough food in the country.

It would matter to me if someone saved my life from sickness, even if I did die of starvation shortly afterwards.

>If a country is really that badly off, what difference does it make if we save people from one form of suffering only to have them be subjected to a different form

I don't understand. By that logic, action is only worthwhile if there is exactly one form of suffering. Surely that can't be right.
