Zero famine deaths and 60,000 newborns – IDF rebuts claims of Gaza "genocide". IDF confirms estimates of 70,000 fatalities in Gaza war, including 25,000 terrorists, as Israeli military says not a single famine death could be confirmed, while number of live births tops pre-war level. By World Israel News Staff. Jan 29, 2026. Israel’s military said Thursday that it estimates that roughly 70,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war with Hamas in October 2023, similar to the figures provided by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry. However, the IDF and the Gaza health...

Supplies, including infant formula, discovered by Gaza opposition to Hamas.

After two years of barraging social media with lies about a famine in Gaza, Hamas propaganda channels are now trying to cover up their obesity by claiming that Israel is making them fat. One recent Hamas media story clamored that “they’re forcing us to gain weight”, and objected that supermarkets have “shelves overflowing with chocolate, soft drinks, and cigarettes”, along with unhealthy “flour and various types of cheese used in sweets and pizza, in addition to sugar and flour derivatives used in confectionery production.” An Arab Muslim settler in Gaza who had previously justified the Hamas massacres complained, “I am...

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?

GAZAWOOD - the PALLYWOOD saga @GAZAWOOD1: Despite the hunger and lack of supplies, Gaza’s increasingly skeletal doctors keep pushing forward💪

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
