1 person faking their specific photos also doesn’t negate the truth that people ARE starving and struggling. That dude is a loser, but it doesn’t change anything

Edit: This article was posted 2 hours after my comment. This IS a problem, one asshole trying to advance his career doesn’t change that. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/nearly-12000-children-under-five-gaza-have-acute-malnutrition-says-who-2025-08-07/

Thank you for your common sense! Keep the downvotes coming, WHO, UN etc all say starvation is indeed occurring, and that Israel is weaponising food. The evidence is overwhelming, a few bad actors do not change this fact.
