Greetings and Salutations, @BBCWorld .
You have, once again, been bamboozled.

This⤵️ is part of the current leading item on your home page.

Dr Al-Deeb is an interesting guy.

He has a tumblr account - where he posted last year that he had lost his job at Al-Shifa, but that you could help by providing funds for him to study abroad.

It also posted a lot of propaganda straight out of the Hamas PR office. And it's clearly the same guy.

His tumblr account has been quiet since December 31 2024. So maybe he got he got another job - the BBC claims he's at Al-Quds hospital - and no longer needs your money.

Let's see how his GoFundMe is doing. Money is still coming in, but slowly.

Again it says he's seeking to leave Gaza,
and there's the obligatory Hamas propaganda with some obvious lies just in case you mistook him for an honest guy.

This isn't looking like a reliable source, @BBCWorld, but the best is yet to come. Oh yes.😤

The GoFundMe has an update!

After raising the equivalent of US $55,000
(a princely sum in Gaza)
he LEFT GAZA AND NOW IS BERLIN.

And he's busy calling his old buddies @BBCWorld pretending to be at a hospital in Gaza, today, right now.
