HonestReporting(@HonestReporting):For years, the @UN said Gaza was starving, and Israel was singularly to blame. In 2023, it warned of mass starvation. In 2024, famine was “imminent.” By 2025, the UN-backed IPC said famine was happening. Now, new UN data shows acute malnutrition across Gaza at 0.2% to 0.8%, comparable to or below pre-war levels, and lower than neighboring Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan. Those famine claims were used to accuse Israel of deliberately starving civilians, despite questionable methodology, shifting thresholds, and data that did not support the claims. Which raises the question: if there was never a famine in Gaza, why was the UN so invested in falsifying one?
