UN's Gaza Famine Fraud Exposed:
➡️IPC tested 15,700 kids for malnutrition in July and found 12%—below 15% famine threshold
😕Problematic. So what did they do?
➡️Use a smaller incomplete 7,100 sample showing 16%
✅Solved. Now UN can claim famine in Gaza!
Evidence & sources:
IPC used MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) of kids to assess starvation where 15%=famine. But instead of using full July dataset they dishonestly used a smaller incomplete sample of 7,127 kids. Table 18 of report shows 16.4% in Gaza Governorate—just enough to declare famine. 2/
On Aug 8, the State of Palestine Nutrition Cluster released a LARGER dataset of 15,749 kids—same Gaza sites, same methods—showing 12% malnutrition, below famine. You don’t need a PhD to know a sample twice the size is more reliable—and that ignoring it is academic fraud. 3/
There is a false claim that Gaza MUAC % rose in late July, so even if the full month was <15% the trend was moving above 15%. FALSE. MUAC was already >15% in 1st-half samples and data shows 2nd half trended down—EMPHNET, MDM-France, UNRWA all lower for full month vs 1st half. 4/
Not surprisingly, IPC’s Gaza famine claim fails basic reality checks, because they cooked the books. Even the 12% MUAC rate for all July is suspect—UNRWA was a source. By IPC math there should be 200 deaths daily but even Hamas claims <300 total such deaths for ENTIRE war. 5/
How is it possible that so-called “professional” IPC scientists would publish fraudulent results? Because some IPC members, like Andy Seal, obsessively loathe Israel and openly shill for Hamas. They write political, not scientific reports. 6/
There are many other flaw in the report, such as the use of MUAC to determine famine, and clinic-based screenings which the IPC normally prohibits as the data does not represent the general population. See report for more flaws. IPC sources next. END

Replying something like "well 12% malnutrition is your defense?" misses 2 points. It acknowledges the IPC fraud; there are other problems, so even this number is not credible. MUAC method is flawed, clinic data only and more. Lastly, Hamas is to blame for all problems in Gaza.
Here is a more technical discussion on why MUAC is not a reliable measurement for famine assessment. But we already know the IPC was not interested in accuracy or integrity:
