The New York Times was accused of 'lying' after publishing a photo of a malnourished Palestinian child, later updating the article with information about pre-existing health problems.

The NYT published a shocking picture of a Palestinian child, Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, to illustrate the food crisis in Gaza, but was accused of 'lying' after revealing that he was suffering from pre-existing health problems. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized the paper for generating hatred against Israel. Despite the controversy, the food crisis in Gaza is real, with a humanitarian embargo imposed by Israel. Israeli PM Netanyahu has denied the famine, while US President Trump has expressed doubts. Israel has announced measures to deliver humanitarian aid.
