00:00How a photo of a skeletal child sparked controversy about starvation in Gaza.

00:08A photo of an emaciated Gazan child wearing a bin bag has caused huge controversy,

00:14both for what it shows about the humanitarian disaster in Gaza

00:17and the true nature of the boy's condition.

00:20The New York Times published the shocking image of Mohammed Zakaria Al-Mutawak

00:25on its front page with the headline

00:26Other high-profile media outlets were quick to republish the photo,

00:35drawing worldwide condemnation of Israel's blockade of food and medicine into Gaza.

00:40However, independent journalists and news organisations soon began reporting

00:44that they'd seen medical documents revealing that Mohammed had a serious disorder

00:48that affected his health, with some identifying it as cerebral palsy.

00:52The New York Times later issued a clarification that Mohammed had been diagnosed

00:57with a pre-existing health condition after consulting his hospital.

01:01This correction and other issues, such as claims that another photo purportedly showed

01:05Mohammed's brother in a much better condition,

01:08caused criticism of the media for spinning a narrative about starvation in Gaza.

01:12However, regardless of Mohammed's illness and the nature of the photo,

01:16it's true that people are starving in Gaza,

01:19as repeatedly reported by reputable media outlets and humanitarian aid groups.

01:24The WHO says that malnutrition in Gaza has reached alarming levels,

01:29while the UN has warned of famine,

01:31and US President Donald Trump has acknowledged real starvation there.

01:34Israel has denied that there is any starvation in Gaza,

01:37with the Defence Ministry's Kogat unit accusing Hamas of misrepresenting pictures

01:42of allegedly starving children to attribute blame.

01:45This has been refuted by surgeons working in the Strip.

01:49Israel has since allowed airdrops and humanitarian corridors,

01:53but aid workers say they have done little to alleviate the crisis so far.
