Jesus only loves the kids that feed His Holy Narcissism. As far as Jesus is concerned, if they don't love Him more than they love themselves and their families, they can go to Hell. Literally.
He makes that very clear in the scriptures. Christians will deny that of course, but then, they tend to deny most of what the Bible says. I suppose it's the only way they can keep justifying their belief in a book of fairy tales.

He surely does -- he loves them enough to let 26,000 of them starve to death every single day.
Tell me -- if YOU had the power to feed the whole world with just a thought, with no real effort or personal cost to yourself, would you do it?
Of course you would! You're a compassionate human being! If it was virtually effortless for you to do so, you'd save their lives -- it'd be monstrously cruel for you not to!
So why is it that a being that's supposedly INFINITELY more compassionate and merciful than you think that the best way to help them is....to do nothing?
The short answer is: because no such being exists.

He loves all of us. The things you list happen to everybody not just children, i think it is more upsetting when it happens to a child because they have not lived a full life and that seems brutal i know. Bless the children of the world.

That's what John 3:16 says to me.
Perhaps considering where they are born, they would be better off dead.
But it ought not to be this way. Christian charities such as World Vision are working frantically to correct the situation.
But often famine is a political tool by repressive governments to create ethnic cleansing and destroy people they don't like.
Do you support World Vision?

Some answer this question by saying: Jesus loves these children more and wants them in heaven.
But the real answer from a Christian perspective is: The lord works in mysterious ways.
This means it's not up to you to understand why these children die. You just have to trust that god has a plan.

This may be hard for a lot of people to accept... but I believe God directly experiences all of the suffering of all of His children, including the suffering of Jesus. We are all emminations from God and have no identity outside of Him. The suffering that comes from being able to roam free in our illusory world is all His pain.

No. Look at all the good and decent people who die myserably each day. They do nothing wrong, they praise him dearly, they even go out of their way to help others and they are dropping like flies from horrific cancer and painful death for no reason other than God, their creator felt they deserved to go that way.

No, he doesn't, there are clear differences.
Jesus = god (according to most xians). God said:
Exodus 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel
