Here's one of their accusations:
• The World Health Organization coordinated a medical team to arrive in the Gaza Strip carrying life-saving medicines, but unfortunately the occupation confiscated all the medicine bags in a new crime that clearly reveals the occupation’s intent in undermining the Palestinian health sector.
Wow, that's big news! WHO must have strenuously protested this confiscation of medicines and gone to the media to pressure Israel to release them for their patients in Gaza, right?
I cannot find a single story in English or Arabic that says that this happened. The WHO didn't post anything about this on their social media that I could find. The Arab media outlets like Al Jazeera who are quick to repeat every outlandish accusation against Israel haven't said anything about this.
On the contrary. On May 29, WHO announced that for the first time since May 13, it was able to reach northern Gaza to deliver fuel, equipment and medicine to Al-Ahli Hospital, It brought in 15,000 liters of fuel for the hospital’s generators, 14 medical beds, medicines, and medical equipment to treat injuries, covering the needs of 1,500 people.
Assuming there isn't a bizarre coverup of this important story, it is apparent that the Gaza health ministry made it up.
But I invite any anti-Israel reporter to prove me wrong. Contact WHO and ask them if Israel confiscated medicine from the doctors. (Not delayed delivery because of fighting - the MoH says "confiscated.")
Yet even if reporters did do their jobs and verified that the story was made up - as the MoH has made up outlandish stories before - it will not hurt the ministry's reputation one tiny bit. They will still be quoted as authoritative.
