"Seeming" is the operative word here.
When the war in Syria began in 2011, the news feeds here in Europe broadcast it 24/7. They showed the refugee camps, they talked about the Yazidi genocide. They covered the resistance by Kurdish forces and the casualties that they sustained as a consequence. The coverage continued for quite a few years.
Similarly with Palestine. Every time there is another attack, the news here in Europe is inundated with it.
Admittedly, coverage of Yemen has been sparse. But is that because "white's don't care about people of colour" or, is it because having the word "PRESS" displayed in Yemen is akin to painting the proverbial target on oneself?

There are plenty of other online news articles covering this topic. I've chosen three that a) don't require subscription and b) cover a global perspective and audience.
