Gaza, Aug 28 (V7N) – As Western media broadcast scenes of women and children in Gaza lining up for cooked meals, the grim reality remains concealed: the Israeli military is selectively allowing such staged visuals, while the broader populace continues to starve and journalists are systematically targeted to suppress the truth.
 
In Gaza, outlets are airing images of food distribution—women and children holding out bowls for cooked meals, suggesting that aid is reaching those in need. However, these scenes mask a dire humanitarian catastrophe unfolding behind the curtain. Only select media outlets receive permission to film these controlled distributions, promoting a distorted image of relief. At the same time, behind the perfectly curated lens, mass starvation and targeted killings continue unabated.
 
According to Gaza's health ministry, yesterday alone, ten more people died from malnutrition—two of them children—raising the overall death toll to 313, including 119 children. This figure follows a UN-supported report confirming a famine in Gaza, stemming from food scarcity, disrupted aid, and systematic blockades—conditions labeled “entirely man‑made”.
 
Journalists in Gaza face lethal targeting. A recent Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital killed at least 75, including five journalists, in a devastating “double‑tap” strike—timed to target both first responders and media arriving at the scene.
 
The conjunction of staged food relief visuals and deadly suppression of journalists underscores a deliberate effort to sanitize global perceptions of the crisis. By granting limited access to media for controlled footage and simultaneously silencing independent voices, Israel restricts visibility of the true scale of the catastrophe.
 
Today’s reported starvation deaths, the confirmation of famine, and the targeted aggression against journalists must be understood as intentional strategies: to starve, silence, and obscure. The global media and humanitarian response must break through these barriers—not simply for truth, but for urgently needed action to save lives.
