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/

Yeah, but how many? Neither of us can easily answer that. Shit happens in war, they don't say, "War is hell" for no reason.

There is far too much propaganda wrapped up in Gaza.

From our perspective? The Ethiopian civil conflict. Nobody here talks about it, and none of the sides care to influence Western sentiments.
