Debunked: UN official's claim 14,000 Gazan babies could die in 48 hours was untrue

[AloeVera]

41. 29 kids and elderly starved to death in recent days. On top of the 57 children already starved since the siege began.

Tip of the iceberg.

3,700 kids at acute levels of malnutrition last month - a doubling over February. A sharp rise like that is a telltale sign of impending famine. It is likely to be much higher now. Bakeries have been closed for well over a month and food kitchens for a few weeks. These acutely malnourished children may only have 48+ hours for all we know.

So maybe not 14,000, but isn't 3,700+++ bad enough?

It's not a numbers game, and gleeful gotcha's about the UN only serve a very nefarious agenda. These are children's lives that hang in the balance.

An urgent plea for help - from people who care about preventing children from dying agonizing deaths - is now being presented as a lie by some people, or twisted into something nefarious or "fabulist".

There is nothing "fabulist" about bringing attention to the horrific possibility that thousands of children will die if Israel continues to be allowed to enforce its medieval cold-blood murder siege.

To ignore the real story while propagandizing the UN mistake is disturbing and serves Netanyahu's agenda of ridding Palestinians from Gaza, annexing and settling very well. I'm sure no one here would want to be complicit in that.

On edit:
3700 figure is for March, not April. A near-doubling over February. The rate of increase may have been even higher over two months. But applying just the same doubling would arrive at 14,000 currently.
