The BBC faced criticism over its reporting on the death of a young Gazan woman, initially claiming she died from malnutrition due to starvation. Medical reports from Gaza, Israel, and Italy confirmed that the woman suffered from acute leukemia, a condition that causes weight loss and malnutrition. Israel facilitated her evacuation to Italy for medical treatment, but she ultimately died from leukemia. Following backlash, the BBC quietly amended its headline to attribute the cause of death to leukemia and later added a note acknowledging that the original malnutrition claim was false. The incident has drawn accusations of biased reporting aimed at vilifying Israel. Other media outlets and commentators have highlighted the discrepancy between the medical facts and the BBC’s initial narrative. The BBC has since deleted the original post and admitted the error, though some critics suggest these mistakes disproportionately affect Israel’s image.
