TRT World, Turkey’s public English-language broadcaster, has used a photo of a starving Yemeni child for an article about hunger in Gaza, despite the image being almost a decade old.
Writing on X, the network posted a link to a story under the headline "Hungry Palestinians react to UN famine declaration as Gaza crisis deepens".
…it has emerged that it was taken in 2016 in a hospital in Hodeida, Yemen, during the famine brought about by the long-running civil war there.
A Reuters article from September of that year, seen by the JC, features exactly the same picture under the headline “Starving children of Yemen”.
In that piece, it was accompanied by the caption: “A malnourished boy lies on a bed at a hospital in the Red Sea port city of Houdieda, Yemen" and was credited to photographer Abduljabbar Zeyad.
TRT’s post is still online and no public correction has yet been issued.
It comes after a number of photos of apparently malnourished children in Gaza were published by international media, only for it to be revealed subsequently that the children in question suffered from pre-existing medical conditions.
Any lies to blacken Israel….
