New York Times Amends Gaza Starvation Story to include Child's Pre-existing Medical Condition
(Jerusalem Post) Shir Perets - The New York Times amended its article that detailed starvation in Gaza on Tuesday to include that the child featured on its front page, Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, had a preexisting medical condition that impacts his appearance, citing "new information, including from the hospital that treated [Mutawaq] and his medical records." Israeli Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis said, "It's unfortunate that the international media repeatedly falls for Hamas propaganda. First they publish, then they verify, if at all." Israel shared an additional photo of Mutawaq, who suffers from cerebral palsy, together with his mother and brother, who appear healthy.
