Are there heroes?

Article Abstract:

The Albanian refugee crisis in Kosovo has complicated guidelines for international assistance, and has revealed the inadequacies of the current humanitarian aid process. Critics question why vast amounts of money have been spent on Kosovo when the United Nation's humanitarian request for Africa has been underfunded by more than three-quarters. As the international relief agencies vied for media coverage in Kosovo, they failed to adequately and efficiently assess the refugee situation.
