Facts prevail in regards to so called Gaza "Famine"

A newly published UNICEF-led survey revealed that the levels of malnutrition in children are lower or similar to those registered before the Israel-Hamas war, with Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon saying on Thursday that it was proof that the “false narrative against Israel” of there being a famine in the Gaza Strip is falling apart.

“Once again, facts prevail over fiction,” Danon said. “UN bodies are acknowledging that the false narrative against Israel is falling apart.”

“Israel is not starving children. Israel is fighting Hamas terrorism, while Hamas uses civilians in Gaza as human shields. Those who rushed to accuse Israel must now be held accountable for spreading lies.”

The nutrition survey, which was coordinated by the UNICEF, showed that children in Gaza have low levels of acute malnutrition.

Using internationally recognized World Health Organization (WHO) methodology, researchers measured children’s weight, height, and mid-upper-arm circumference to assess acute malnutrition using the Weight-for-Height Z-score (WHZ).

According to the results of the survey, acute malnutrition rates across Gaza ranged between 0.2% and 0.8%.

These are levels comparable to or below those recorded in Gaza prior to the Israel-Hamas War, and are significantly lower than those reported in neighboring countries, including Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.

“In other words,” the Foreign Ministry, in its own statement to X/Twitter, added, “There is no famine in Gaza.” 

“Malnutrition is not only significantly below the critical values – it is exceptionally low in regional comparison. Anyone who is still open to arguments can look at the empirical data themselves.”
