EXPOSED: Hamas' "Starvation Campaign" has been debunked by an in-depth IDF review. Misleading publication of malnutrition data & images of patients with pre-existing conditions have been used to discredit Israel and achieve political gains.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health claims 133+ malnutrition deaths in July alone, but failed to share identities. Following the in-depth review, only a handful of cases were verified.
Case analysis: Most "malnutrition" deaths were due to severe pre-existing conditions, some even received medical treatment in Israel prior to the war. 1/4

Example: 4 year-old Abdullah Hanu Muhammad Abu Zarqa has a genetic disease causing deficiencies, osteoporosis, and bone thinning. 4 months before the outbreak of the war, he traveled with his mother to receive medical treatement in East Jerusalem. 2/4
Another example: 27 year-old Karam Khaled Mustafa al-Jamal died from lifelong muscular dystrophy & partial paralysis, not hunger. 3/4
The expert review concluded that there are no signs of a widespread malnutrition phenomenon among the population in Gaza.
Hamas cynically exploits tragic images and misuses them for a false and timed propaganda campaign aimed at generating pressure and creating negative public opinion against Israel. The IDF, through COGAT, will continue working to improve the humanitarian response in Gaza, in cooperation with the intl. community, while rejecting allegations of famine in Gaza. 4/4
