The very fact that it is repeatedly in the news decade-in and decade-out, all the while with the populations on both sides increasing by a few million, is proof that it is not one of the largest humanitarian disasters in history. Were it actually one of the largest humanitarian disasters in history, you would have maybe heard of it once and then never heard of it again. Because with huge humanitarian disasters, that’s what usually happens. A million people die somewhere in Asia, and no one speaks of it again.
