One reason may be a new trend in giving: With more places suffering mass killing of innocent people, whether in Iraqi cities or in American schools, charities seek to heal individuals and communities of the trauma from such large-scale violence. Humanitarian aid in the form of emotional and spiritual support is as necessary as physical relief and restoration.
