Examining Media Narratives on Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis

This chapter critically examines media coverage of malnutrition in Gaza, specifically analyzing how reports frame the suffering of affected individuals, particularly children, against the backdrop of ongoing Israeli policies. It highlights the controversy surrounding corrections made by the New York Times and the implications of attributing health conditions to starvation, revealing a narrative that often downplays systemic accountability. The discussion emphasizes the historical context of the blockade, questioning the ethics of framing deaths in terms of pre-existing conditions while ignoring the broader humanitarian crisis.
