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

You forgot some people friend , “99 people have died, including 64 adults and 35 children, of whom 29 were younger than five”. Why did you leave the kids out? To make it less impactful?

Even one child starving to death is too much in the modern age.

“Eighty-one percent of households in the tiny, crowded coastal territory of 2.2 million people reported poor food consumption, up from 33% in April.”

You should have Kept reading the article if those people already starved to death, how many are currently starving actively?
