A claim made in May by antisemitic UN official Tom Fletcher that 14,000 children would starve within 48 hours. This claim was quickly debunked.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza can be discussed without reprising false claims by made by a man who repeatedly proves his bias and antisemitism.

In 2024, The world Food Program and UNICEF reported severe food insecurity- most families having one meal a day - made from (0ften moldy) flour. Broth, bread, lentils , rice. No protein or fruit or vegetables. Newborns and toddler need formula and milk to survive. There are videos of mothers giving tiny babies mashed lentils because there was no baby formula.

4. Food report from murdered Palestinian journalist last August 2024

“For the past nine months, people in North Gaza have not seen any fruits, vegetables, meat, or chicken. What's currently available is only flour and very limited canned food. Many people, especially young kids, are falling sick and dying due to a very unhealthy diet. The Israeli government is using starvation as a tool of war against the people in North Gaza “

Your post about that claim months ago doesn’t negate the fact that Israel is deliberately starving to death, and as a result children are dying everyday.
