The BBC has admitted that a Gazan woman it claimed had died of malnutrition was being treated for cancer.
Over the weekend, the broadcaster reported that the 20-year-old, identified as Marah Abu Zuhri, died after she was evacuated to Italy for treatment while “severely emaciated”.
However, the Israeli military unit in charge of aid, known as the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories, claimed shortly afterwards that she had been suffering from leukaemia. DT.
