I do think it's kind of human nature to be more shocked when bad stuff happens "here" or to people "like us".
When we hear about bad stuff far away there's a tendency to think that's normal over there, or it must be happening for reasons, that we just don't understand...
That's exactly why I think it's important to be aware of these tendecies/bias, and try to calibrate how serious problems feel against actual numbers harmed...
