You mean, the whole thing was leftist/jihadist propaganda? Knock me over with a feather!
“Gaza famine claims face mounting scrutiny as mortality data falls far short of predictions,” by Beth Bailey, Fox News, October 18, 2025:
Even as aid continues to flow into Gaza following President Donald Trump’s ceasefire deal, one expert is questioning the veracity of claims by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) that famine conditions took hold in Gaza this summer — and the organizational ties of the agency.
“What makes famine different from just hunger or deprivation is that it’s lethal,” David Adesnik, vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told Fox News Digital. “Using the IPC definition — that famine claims two lives per day per 10,000 people — the famine in Gaza directorate should by now have resulted in about 9,000 deaths from hunger or hunger-related disease,” he explained. “They didn’t have data showing that mortality rate had been reached.”
On Aug. 22, the IPC claimed that famine was occurring in one Gaza governorate and was projected to reach two additional governorates by Sept. 30.
As of Aug. 22, the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health stated that 273 Palestinians had died of famine and malnutrition during nearly two years of conflict. By Oct. 7, the number, it claimed, had reached 460, a difference of 187.
“I imagine it was a horrific end for those 187 individuals. But an accusation of famine is supposed to rest on evidence,” Adesnik said.
He noted that “the IPC forecast a major worsening of the food security situation,” which he said “should drive prices substantially higher. But in fact, we’ve seen the opposite.”
The World Food Programme’s Palestine Market Monitor shows that prices for 60 of 89 key food and non-food necessities in three Gazan governorates have remained the same or declined between the last week of August and the third week of September.
Fox News Digital asked the IPC, WFP, U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) whether they believe, given data on food pricing and mortality rates, that there is famine in Gaza. OCHA and FAO deferred to the IPC, which did not respond.
Sources also question whether there may be bias in the IPC’s famine predictions. The IPC does not name the non-governmental organizations, government institutions and U.N. agencies that are part of its overarching governance structure. These organizations also provide personnel who “support the funding, implementation and institutionalization of IPC at the country level” as Technical Working Group (TWG) members….

2.3million Gazans with that standard of 2 per 10,000 per day would amount to 460 PER DAY … The MATH the ‘health’ ministry bandy about as scare is beyond hashish absurd..
I guess Math-Lies are also ‘Truth’ in praise of Allah??
Civilization gave the Arabs the credit for creatively inventing the zero concept back in biblical days, so you’d think they’d show some caution in screwing up math…
OTOH, Americans with all their prowess in computers can’t count votes worth a damn… TTYL

I wonder how much money has been pocketed by the leaders go these aid agencies? Just like some of these protest organizers don’t want a solution as that would men an end to their financial success .
Foreign aid is a cash cow for those administrating it and those leaders receiving it. Charity should come from the people not the political leaders with sticky fingers.

You mean Palestinians might have lied about something? I’m shocked – seriously, seriously shocked. No really: shocked. Shocked, I tell you, shocked!
Yes siree: shocked.

The only “famine” in Gaza is that Hamas was temporarily starved of funds from the resale of humanitarian aid.
