Israel could kill everyone left in Northern Gaza if its assault on the enclave continues, a United Nations relief official warned on Saturday
“Hospitals have been hit, and health workers have been detained. Shelters have been emptied and burned down. First responders have been prevented from saving people from under the rubble. Families have been separated, and men and boys are being taken away by the truckload,”
Msuya estimated that Israel’s actions in the north had killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands. According to Al Jazeera, an Israeli siege on the north that began earlier in October has killed around 640.
“The Biden-Harris administration must stop the flow of U.S. weapons to Israel which constitutes a necessary step to halting Israel’s ongoing war crimes,” IMEU wrote on social media Saturday. “It’s time for an arms embargo now.”
Trump would kill them twice /s
Absolute lowest quality journalism allowed on this website. Of course, people are happy to post it repeatedly as long as it conforms with their worldview.
Statement on North Gaza by Joyce Msuya, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator
What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue.
Hospitals have been hit and health workers have been detained. Shelters have been emptied and burned down. First responders have been prevented from saving people from under the rubble. Families have been separated and men and boys are being taken away by the truckload.
Hundreds of Palestinians have reportedly been killed. Tens of thousands have been forced to flee yet again.
The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.
Such blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop.
Please explain how this does not warrant the headline of Israel May Kill Every Palestinian Left in North Gaza, UN Official Warns.
Truth Out is notoriously low quality journalism that routinely, distorts the facts, or misrepresents them. This article is yet another example.
How so? The original quote says the same thing, only in the passive voice.
Given what I’ve seen you moderate in news on Lemmy.world, I wouldn’t be so quick to accuse others of letting their biases impact how they treat things that go against their world view.
Yeah but they totally don’t let their bias influence their decisions to make it that way…the teams for it

That’s being charitable. They’ve completely fabricated a statement and attributed it to Msuya. No wonder their “fact check” score is so low.
The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.
Quibbling over this not being a damning enough statement is ridiculous.
That isn’t how journalism works. If you say someone said something, they had better have really said that thing. You can’t twist and rephrase it willy-nilly. For example, I could twist your reply to say:
“Caring about factual reporting is ridiculous”

How? The title is not in quotes. The quoted statement is equivalent to the title, it simply highlights that it is Israel doing the killing. The only difference is passive vs active voice.
“The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying,” Msuya said. “Such blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop."
I don’t get it. MBFC is not credible so their opinion doesn’t matter.
The entire population in northern Gaza is at risk of dying according to a UN official. They are at risk of dying because Israel is besieging the north of Gaza, denying food and medical supplies, is bombing them in their shelters and hospitals, is arresting medical staff and killing civilians in all sorts of other cruel ways. That is, if they don’t starve to death or die while giving birth or from curable diseases or minor injuries.
They are dying because of Israel’s genocide. If you die in a genocide it’s because you’re being killed. So yeah the entire population of Gaza is at risk of being killed by Israel.
Using the premise that Israel is committing genocide you can see that it’s very easy to show that the two statements are equivalent.
With the full support of your government.
This is what I always say about Russia vs Israel.
Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved.
Israel just wants to murder all Palestinians.
How can some people even see conflicts as the same category? Israel is doing straight genocide again stone age level opponents.
