The New York Times corrected a front-page photo of a malnourished Gazan child, acknowledging the boy had pre-existing health issues predating the current conflict. The correction, added online and to a NYT PR account on X, followed reports revealing the child's cerebral palsy and other medical conditions. While the Times noted his health deteriorated due to food and medical care shortages, other outlets, including Sky News and The Guardian, haven't issued corrections to their similar stories. The incident sparked accusations of spreading misinformation and a "blood libel" against Israel.
