The German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung exposed staged photos depicting hunger in Gaza, revealing collaboration with Hamas. Images show Gazans posing with empty pots, contradicting claims of widespread food shortages. While acknowledging genuine hunger exists, experts warn the staged photos aim to counter images of Hamas violence from October 7th. One photographer, employed by a Turkish agency, has a history of anti-Israel social media posts.
