The correction came only after documents from Nasser Hospital in Gaza, released by Israel’s COGAT, revealed that the woman had long been battling an aggressive cancer.
The BBC has quietly issued a correction after publishing a false report claiming that a young Gazan woman died of starvation in an Italian hospital, later admitting she had actually been suffering from leukemia.
The outlet — which has a long record of anti-Israel bias and has employed journalists who have praised Adolf Hitler and justified the October 7th massacres — initially ran a story on Saturday asserting that 20-year-old Marah Abu Zohry had died of malnutrition after being evacuated from Gaza for medical care.
The report quickly spread across international media, fueling the narrative that Israel’s war in Gaza had left Palestinians unable to access food.
