Critics have long said that accusations of famine in Gaza have a gaping hole right in the middle: the staggering amount of emaciated, dead bodies, part and parcel of a famine, are simply nowhere to be found. When the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a United Nations-linked food-security agenda, determined in August that a famine was indeed ongoing in parts of Gaza, those behind the report said that the sheer devastation in Gaza did not allow for an accurate accounting of starvation-related deaths. Instead, they said, they were using another key criterion for famine that generally goes hand in hand...

Just two months after October 7, international organizations were already discussing how to apply the term “famine” to the situation in Gaza. This was revealed by World Health Organization representative to Israel, Dr. Michel Thieren, on the Mosaïque podcast last week. The podcast was created by Akadem and the French Institute of Israel, and former journalist Antoine Mercier hosted the episode. Thieren attended a multilateral governance meeting about Gaza in Geneva in December 2023. During the meeting, Thieren said organizations discussed how important it would be to scientifically demonstrate the occurrence of a famine in Gaza, and how to use...

* __ The "genocide" LIE [October 16, 2025] The Genocide Lie: Why the Accusation Against Israel Collapses Under Scrutiny.In the months since "Palestine" regime Hamas’s October 7 attacks, there has been a full-force campaign to frame Israel’s counteroffensive in Gaza as a supposed "genocide." The charge is not only false—it is an outrageous distortion of both international law and moral truth. The accusation dishonors the real victims of genocide, manipulates suffering for political purposes, and, worst of all, shields the genocidal intentions of Hamas behind a false moral equivalence. Simple introduction:The war launched in retaliation to Hamas's October 7, 2023,...

In a statement on Monday, a BBC spokesperson acknowledged that the broadcaster was "not initially aware that Marah Abu Zuhri was being treated for leukemia." Following criticism, the BBC admitted on Monday that a Gazan woman it claimed had died from starvation was also suffering with leukemia, and amended its article accordingly. International media widely reported over the weekend that 20-year-old Marah Salah Mahmoud Zohry died from malnutrition in an Italian hospital after being evacuated from Gaza. The BBC subsequently tweeted that Zohry "died of malnutrition," and titled its article in the same way. However, on Sunday, Israel’s Coordination of...

Rinse and Repeat: Another Gaza Famine Lie Goes Viral. Another Image that Lied On 23 July, the tragic _a href="https://x.com/Daily_Express/status/1947965041438761437">image of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq shook the world. Headlines told a story of a boy being forcibly starved in a Gaza famine. My research quickly exposed that story as a lie. Muhammad had cerebral palsy, had been sick since birth, and his siblings were healthy. Barely a week later, legacy media played the same trick again – this time with a young girl called Maryam. We are told Maryam was evidence of Gaza’s ‘catastrophic hunger crisis’: Embarrassingly, the quoted doctors...

The whistleblower provided a "firsthand eyewitnessing of senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials offering any support necessary, including security protection and coordination, to representatives from the World...

GAZAWOOD - the PALLYWOOD saga @GAZAWOOD1 🚨 FABRICATED SUFFERING IS NOT EVIDENCE - IT'S PROPAGANDA! This video of a newborn having a seizure, taken from a nursing page on FaceBook, is pushed by media outlets as a starving baby in Gaza. If there are starving babies in Gaza, why do they fake the evidence?

A leaked BBC memo instructing staff to blame Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza's food crisis has sparked outrage and accusations of bias, as critics question the broadcaster's commitment to impartiality and responsible journalism. A leaked internal BBC memo titled “Covering the food crisis in Gaza” has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with allegations that it directs staff to blame Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) for the region’s ongoing food shortages. The document, first reported by *The Spectator* on Monday, explicitly instructs journalists to frame the aid system as nonfunctional and attribute the humanitarian failure solely...

Video shows armed Hamas operatives seizing humanitarian supplies meant for civilians; IDF says terror group is blocking aid distribution in Gaza.

Viral images portraying a severely emaciated Palestinian boy as the “face of hunger in Gaza.” The boy, used as the centerpiece of a Hamas campaign, suffers from genetic disorders and muscle conditions, a fact largely ignored by most media outlets. Heart-wrenching images of a severely emaciated Palestinian boy, spread by leading international media outlets as the “face of hunger in Gaza” and “proof” of widespread suffering due to the war, do not tell the full story.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation chair Johnnie Moore accuses UN of 'playing politics' with Gazan lives, defends IDF and denies claims of mass casualties near aid sites, saying more people harmed in 24 hours of UN efforts than during weeks of GHF operations

Michal Cotler-Wunsh @CotlerWunsh: There is NO genocide in Gaza. There is war - waged by genocidal terrorists for whom human tragedy is the strategy; who use own people as human shields/sacrifices; who use int’l ‘humanitarian aid’ & civilian infrastructure to construct hundreds of km of underground hell. A war that would be over on October 8 if the 251 human beings stolen & held in standing violation of law & morality - 4 of them since 2014 - were returned; & if Hamas war criminals were held to account & prevented from openly declared intent to perpetrate genocidal October 7...

WFP warns of starvation in Gaza as aid trucks stall at the border but reports highlight high food access to Gazans despite conflicting claims . The World Food Program (WFP) warned Sunday that families in Gaza are starving while food trucks pile up at the border, calling the situation “a race against time.” The organization urged the international community to take immediate action to restore aid flows into the Strip. While these allegations dominate political speeches and media headlines, the reality in Gaza appears more complex. Though some markets in Gaza have been photographed empty, residents have also shared images...

UK Lawyers for Israel says use of inaccurate data, inconsistent methodology, potential bias led to false assertions that were utilized by ICC when charging Netanyahu with war (sic) crimes. A review conducted by the UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) organization into allegations by international famine review bodies that famine and severe malnutrition were widespread and prevalent in Gaza during the war between Israel and Hamas has found that famine did not break out in the territory according to the figures of the very organizations making the claims. The report noted severe problems with the reports these organizations issued, due to...
