If Belief in Jesus is Required for Salvation, How is that Fair to Those Who Have Never Heard the Gospel?

This is a question I have heard numerous times over the years and that I have even asked myself and I did not know the answer. Why would God send people to Hell if they hadn’t heard about Jesus?
