According to a hadith, Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268). And in this instance, the world was so very, very eager to be deceived.
“UNICEF data show there was no famine in Gaza,” by Mike Wagenheim, JNS, October 29, 2025:
Critics have long said that accusations of famine in Gaza have a gaping hole right in the middle: the staggering amount of emaciated, dead bodies, part and parcel of a famine, are simply nowhere to be found.
When the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a United Nations-linked food-security agenda, determined in August that a famine was indeed ongoing in parts of Gaza, those behind the report said that the sheer devastation in Gaza did not allow for an accurate accounting of starvation-related deaths.
Instead, they said, they were using another key criterion for famine that generally goes hand in hand with malnutrition deaths, and that extrapolating on the former to determine the latter was taking place.
That key criterion, called mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), appears to have never been met, according to data recently released by the Global Nutrition Center, which is staffed by UNICEF, the U.N.’s agency for children. The measurement serves as an easy and generally accepted way to gauge malnutrition. The IPC standards say that when 15% of children sampled show signs of malnutrition, it’s indicative of a famine.
The IPC’s August alert, determining that famine was already taking place, said there was a rapid rise in child malnutrition, based on a two-week data sample from mid-to-late July.
The newer information, released on Sept. 17 by the “State of Palestine” Nutrition Cluster, reveals that IPC-standard age-weighted MUAC data—as opposed to the unweighted data in the IPC’s famine report—did not meet the IPC’s own famine criteria.
And without MUAC data showing famine levels, it becomes impossible for the IPC to extrapolate famine level deaths, said Mark Zlochin, a former artificial intelligence researcher who has spent months poring over data from Gaza.
“They said that because the malnutrition was rising so rapidly, they can reasonably infer that the mortality is also rising, and they’re not just catching all the deaths that are actually occurring,” Zlochin said of the IPC. “So they need both of those parts, both the crossing of this threshold, but also the very, very rapid crossing of this threshold. So once you see that it didn’t happen, everything falls apart.”…

Like Ramadan “fasting”, Gaza famines are the only ones where people get to gorge, and have an obesity problem as a result. All that food could have been sent to Darfur, assuming that either of the warring factions would have let it

Who in their right mind would believe UNICEF that sponsors terrorism. How many workers are from the UN that were caught? 🤮
Wake up and smell the scam. It’s embarrassing.
Boomers are the worst, so gullible.

Just wondering how the mainstream media is going to spin this inconvenient truth.

So far they just seem to be ignoring it, James.

gravenimage,
Yes, thanks for pointing that out.
I guess it’s another example of the type of story that the mainstream media refuses to cover…

It was all a lie: UNICEF data proves that there was no famine in Gaza
……………………………………………….
Yet they did little to air this crucial information. I used to trick or treat for UNICEF when I was a child–before I knew any better.

I believe that many of these aid groups and our government foreign aid programs are a rip off. The directors of these programs and the leaders who are excepting our aid are getting mighty rich off of these programs.
