In yet another attempt to vilify Israel by claiming they are starving Gazans, the BBC published an <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce87n455dvxo">article</a> initially titled, “Malnourished Gaza woman flown to Italy dies in hospital.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Israel helps evacuate cancer sufferer from Gaza to Italy. She dies there of leukaemia. BBC suggests Israel starved her to death. To the BBC, even cancer is Israel’s fault.<a href="https://t.co/9EbFskcHm4">https://t.co/9EbFskcHm4</a> <a href="https://t.co/3f2YJ2qQwL">pic.twitter.com/3f2YJ2qQwL</a>

The article revolved around Marah Abu Zuhri, and the article began, “A Gazan woman who was evacuated to Italy for treatment while severely emaciated has died in hospital.”
The article continued, “The University Hospital of Pisa said she suffered a cardiac arrest and died on Friday, less than 48 hours after arriving. It said she had a ‘very complex clinical picture’ and had suffered severe loss of weight and muscle. Italian news agencies reported she was suffering from severe malnutrition.”
In the fourth paragraph, the BBC finally acknowledged, “Cogat, the Israeli military body in charge of aid, said on Sunday that she had suffered from leukaemia.”
But then the BBC returned to this: “The UN has warned of widespread malnutrition in Gaza, with experts backed by the organisation warning last month in a report that the ‘worst-case scenario’ of famine is playing out in Gaza.”
The BBC made sure to vilify Israel’s war effort, writing, The statement came days after Israel&#8217;s government announced troops would occupy Gaza City. Several days of heavy bombardment of the Zeitoun, the largest district in the city, have since followed. A spokesperson for the municipality told the BBC that the situation in Zeitoun was ‘catastrophic,’ with mass displacement taking place after six days of relentless Israeli air strikes, shelling and demolition operations.”
And as expected, the BBC followed by twice quoting the Hamas-run Gaza Health ministry as to the number of casualties.

Last month, a leaked internal memo at the BBC revealed the news corporation instructed its staff to slant its reporting of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza to vilify Israel and the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is trying to feed the citizens, a new report stated.
As Jonathan Sacerdoti of The Spectator <a href="https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-leaked-email-that-blows-apart-the-bbcs-impartiality-claims-over-gaza/">reported</a>, “A leaked internal email from a BBC executive editor reveals that the Corporation has issued prescriptive instructions to staff on how to cover the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The memo, titled ‘Covering the food crisis in Gaza,’ amounts to a top-down editorial diktat that discards impartiality, elevates one side of a deeply contested narrative, and imposes a specific anti-Israel legal-political framing as settled fact.”
The email was sent on Friday, June 25. It commenced by contending that “the argument over how much aid has crossed into Gaza is irrelevant,” while enjoining the staff that “we should say” the current distribution system “doesn’t work.”
“It explicitly favours a particular explanation of suffering in Gaza: one that blames the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a relatively new aid body established with US and Israeli cooperation, while glossing over the role of Hamas, the rulers of Gaza and a proscribed terrorist organisation under British law,” Sacerdoti wrote, adding that by arguing that the amount of aid doesn’t matter, the BBC ignores that Hamas has been widely reported to be hijacking, obstructing, or reselling aid.
“The BBC’s memo labels the GHF system a failure and instructs staff to say so,” Sacerdoti reports, pointing out, “The BBC – which declined to comment on the email – appears content to accept casualty figures and starvation claims from Hamas-linked bodies or sympathetic NGOs as definitive, while dismissing or omitting Israeli data and counterclaims. The email directs staff to reference ‘mounting evidence’ of starvation and deaths around aid centres, yet makes no mention of Hamas operatives looting convoys, obstructing access, or even firing on civilians attempting to collect food – allegations which have been made publicly by Israel and backed at times by video and eyewitness testimony.”
In March, the BBC once again displayed its inveterate hostility toward Israel, as a producer for the network contacted the Israeli Embassy in London and asked if it could supply &#8220;an Israeli military voice&#8221; who would &#8220;be critical of&#8221; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s military offensive against Hamas.
Orly Goldschmidt, the spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy, published the message that requested the anti-Netanyahu guest. It read:
<blockquote>
Hi, (redacted) this is (redacted) from Newshour on the World Service. Our presenter (redacted) would like to interview a (sic) an Israeli military voice (can be former) about the latest ground offensive in Gaza. We want someone who is going to be critical of Netanyahu and the ground offense (concern about remaining hostages, stretching the IDF capacity, destruction of Gaza or any other reason). Do you think you could help with this? Thank you. 
</blockquote>
The message ended with a praying hands emoji.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
🚨BBC BIAS (yet again)
Today my team received this remarkable message from a <a href="https://twitter.com/BBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BBC</a> producer at <a href="https://twitter.com/bbcworldservice?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bbcworldservice</a>.
They don’t want to interview someone knowledgeable, nor someone relevant, just someone who fits the predetermined narrative.
There is nothing balanced or impartial… <a href="https://t.co/pm0loEeUFG">pic.twitter.com/pm0loEeUFG</a>
