🧵THREAD: The Truth Behind the Express’s “Starving Child” Cover

📢 This is not a starving child.
The Daily Express used this image of a severely disabled boy — almost certainly suffering from spastic cerebral palsy— and falsely framed it as a symbol of famine in Gaza.

This is media manipulation at its most shameless.Image What the Express didn’t show you: this photo is part of a wider set.

The same child is pictured here with his healthy, well-fed sibling. No signs of generalised famine. No emergency feeding stations. Just a selectively cropped story to provoke outrage. Image
