Now @UNICEF is laundering Hamas statistics on children deaths in Gaza, too

The U.N. children's agency said on Sunday over 13,000 children have been killed in Gaza in Israel's offensive, opens new tab, adding many kids were suffering from severe malnutrition and did not "even have the energy to cry."

UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell did not provide a source for the child fatality figure during an interview with CBS News.

When asked if Russell was referring to the agency's own estimate or was basing the figure on reporting from authorities in Hamas-governed Gaza, a UNICEF spokesperson pointed to a press statement by the U.N. children's agency that attributed the figure to Gaza's health ministry.

It is yet another instance of Hamas statistics being laundered through UN organizations.

As I reported yesterday, the vast majority of deaths reported by the health ministry since January 1 have not come directly from hospitals but from "trusted media sources," meaning Hamas. While the ministry directly counted 890 women and children killed since January 1, it also parrots the supposed deaths of 6,000 more women and children from Hamas in that same time period.

The "trusted media sources" claim 89% of the fatalities that they count outside the MoH are women and children.

Why does UNICEF believe these numbers? Part of it is because dead Gaza kids mean more funding for UNICEF. There is no incentive to disprove the Hamas numbers, and great incentive to believe them.

But there is another side to the equation, which is the desire to believe that Israel is targeting children. UN agencies and organizations follow the theme that Israel is one of the worst human rights abusers in the world, so they will highlight any information from any source that confirms their antisemitic bias - and discount anything that contradicts it.

The entire world eagerly accepts the lies of a murderous terror group.The only reason for that is because the entire world, including the UN, thinks that Jews are less trustworthy than raping, murdering, kidnapping terrorists whose strategy is to maximize their own people's deaths.

Expect other NGOs and the media now to quote UNICEF's false statistics, that came from Hamas via a "health ministry" that routinely lies about Israel and that officially supports Hamas war crimes.
