Hamas recently reposted a photo of Muhammad al-Matouq, a Gazan child with cerebral palsy, previously used by The New York Times and the UN to claim widespread starvation in Gaza, as seen on August 23, 2025, social media posts. The image omits his healthy sibling, fueling accusations of selective framing to exaggerate a famine narrative. Critics argue this misrepresents Gaza’s food situation, where markets show available goods, though aid disruptions by Hamas persist.
