International media keep declaring “famine” in Gaza City.
But social media tells another story. 🧵
h/t @imshin
@imshin On August 22, 2025, the UN-backed IPC declared Gaza City in famine. The media echoed it with images of hunger and despair. But those images that don’t match the videos coming out of Gaza City.
@imshin New restaurants and cafés are popping up.
@imshin A luxury car dealership just opened, where you can shop for high-end cars while enjoying dessert.
@imshin Fresh fruit and vegetables for sale.
@imshin Bustling markets full of shoppers.
@imshin Canned goods. Fresh produce. No desperation. No chaos.
@imshin This doesn’t erase Gaza’s suffering. But it isn’t only empty pots and desperation. The reality is far more nuanced than the media shows.
