14,000 Babies? Really?
So here’s what kicked things off. The UN’s aid chief gave an interview on the BBC claiming that 14,000 babies would die in Gaza within 48 hours if aid wasn’t delivered. Let that sink in. Not “could be at risk.” Not “might go hungry.” No, he said they’d be dead. In 48 hours. From lack of baby food.
Folks, I’ve been around war zones long enough to tell you—when someone says something that outlandish, you start digging. And sure enough, the claim wasn’t just wrong—it was stratospherically wrong. The actual UN-backed study says 14,000 children could be at risk of malnutrition over the course of a year. Not dead. Not starving. At risk. Over a year. That’s a massive difference—and it’s no innocent mistake.
