Almost 55,000 children in Gaza are estimated to be acutely malnourished, far more than have so far been identified as victims of the potentially lethal condition, a study published in the Lancet, the respected international medical periodical, has revealed.
You know, given those other claims that 380,000 children are dead already – that is, all the children under 5. Or those other other claims of starvation in droves – and no, malnutrition is not the same as starvation.
This isn’t to say that maulnutrition is good, nor that there isn’t suffering etc. Rather, just to point out that we are subject to all sorts of claims at present and they do not seem to actually agree with each other. Therefore at least some of those claims are wwrong.
I wouldn’t pay any attention to the Lancet even on medical matters never mind on the subject of Middle Easterners trying to outlie each other.
I no longer pay any attention to any scientific journals. Nature, Scientific American, etc are activist publications with a DEI agenda.
It helps that publications like Nature, Scientific American, the Lancet, etc *aren’t* scientific journals, and have never been.
They’re popular science magazines, and as such have always been more about the Narrative than the actual science.
Nature publishes peer-reviewed research articles. The dividing line between learned journals and scientific magazines is not as sharp as you suggest.

Show me photos of more than 2. There were a couple. Not kids malnourished but with a disease. Used heavily by Hamas.
One of those little things about all this modern technology. Gaza has cell service. Lots of people have phones. And there are the odd people taking photos. Not that easy for Hamas to control. Snap… upload… out into the world. So there are photos of markets bursting with food, kids in line for food who look healthy. There are people eating in restaurants.
The whole thing is an alliance between the Western media and Hamas. What are people going to watch, the more boring reality, or the horror? Western media doesn’t want it to be boring reality. Horror sells better. I’m always amazed at how many people believe all that “sword of truth” bullshit about the media, like they’re all Clark Kent.
I haven’t seen one picture showing a starving person in Gaza, apart from that terrible photo of one of the hostages being forced to dig his own grave in one of Hamas’s tunnels. I mean in this day and age of instant communications it should be easy. If there are millions of starving people in Gaza lets see the pictures of them. We saw the footage from Ethiopia 40 years ago, why can’t we see the same in Gaza today? And the obvious answer is that it doesn’t exist, because if it did it would be streamed direct to our homes on a nightly basis.
“Lancet, the respected international medical periodical”
Well, it now has the same status in the Grist brain as the BBC and NHS.
A once-in the case of the BBC respected organisation and the NHS. A limp wristed lying political party with dangerous ideas…
Let’s send them a bacon sarnie.
Only the Graun would describe The Lancet as ‘respected’.
If they’re malnourished, it’s because Hamas has robbed them of their food.
