When you have the ability to prevent these deaths but don't because there's no profit to be made, you bet your rotten ass it's the fault of capitalism.

You have the ability to donate everything you have to avoid some of these deaths and move to these poverty stricken area's and put your talents to good use.   How come you are not doing so?    Is it because of capitalism you haven't done it?

Yes, of course the problem is an individual one, it's not got anything to do with how society is structured. 

Classic gaslighting. This is exactly how people justify capitalism causing death.

1. Stalin’s police used to designate some Soviet citizens as “enemies of the people” and then would take their children from those families. Some so designated who had their families confiscated were Jews.

2. Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970s, 1980s:

Every family that lived in the cities was forced by Khmer Rouge soldiers to work in the fields in the countryside. This was the time in which husbands and wives, mothers, fathers and their children, and brothers and sisters were all separated from each other.

3. Under Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, Catholic hospitals were encouraged to steal babies from leftist families at the hospital, telling the parents they were stillborn, and then to give the infants to right wing families to raise.

4. Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator, expelled tens of thousands of Iraqis of Iranian heritage as marked by their family names. In some instances, Saddam kept the children but expelled the parents:

“Many Shi’a refugees from southern Iraq testified about the forcible separation of their families during the early years of the Iran-Iraq war, when the Baath regime summarily deported tens of thousands of Shi’a to Iran on the grounds that they were of “Iranian origin.”

5. The Burmese military junta has separated Muslim children from their families, as part of the ongoing attempt by the Buddhists to expel the Muslims.

6. And, yes, Hitler separated children from their families on a large scale. In some instances, he had children with blonde hair and blue eyes born into “Slavic” families kidnapped and given to a German family to raise Aryan.

Actually, social programs, minimum wage, government debt are all designed to compensate for the fatal flaws in capitalism.

Social programs aren't 'socialism'

But yeah, capitalism has massive shortcomings and all of these measures are designed to prevent collapse of a very inefficient system.
