Turns out all the tales about "starving children" were a LIE!

Shame.

"starved child" is ill with genetic diseases --------------------------------------------

Note that his brother looks just fine.

Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq /Mutawwaq (was born with serious genetic disorders.
He has needed specialist medical supplements since birth. Like previous examples of the
media using 'starving children' going back to summer 2024 - the image is of a child
suffering underlying (and hidden) health issues.

A medical report issued in May 2025 by the Basma Association for Relief in Gaza states
that Mohammed, has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy - a group of neurological
disorders affecting movement, muscle tone, and posture. The report notes that Mohammed
suffers from hypoxemia (low oxygen in the blood), possibly linked to a suspected genetic
disorder inherited in an 'autosomal recessive pattern.'

And the filthy, lying BBC scum, parrots the crap! Shame!

"The BBC - as per usual went a step further. The BBC *spoke* to his mother, Huda Yassin
Al-Matouq / Mutawwaq - and produced a 64 second interview that somehow failed to
disclose that Mohammed was a child born with genetic problems and complex medical
dependencies. Even in the BBC video, the mother alludes to this rCo referencing a
prolonged struggle, including physiotherapy sessions that had helped him stand. The
curvature of the spine another key clue tying the child to a CP diagnosis. But the BBC
narrator never addresses this rCo leaving the audience to believe the heartbreaking
physical condition we are seeing is the result of widespread famine."
