I see that BBC News have yet another demonstrably false report about people suffering from freezing winter weather in Gaza, as a quick check on BBC Weather shows the weather is actually very nice there this time of year.

 

Without wanting to belittle the suffering the people of Gaza are having to endure because of the war, I'd settle for this weather at Glastonbury every year!

Their report is based on the weather they have had not the weather they are forecast to have. The same report is on numerous other news sites and did not originate from the BBC.

Here is some historical data from the last couple of weeks. If you fancy living in a tent in 5 degrees C then please do and send us video as I can assure you that it is very unpleasant.

Perhaps find some empathy for people who really have lost everything and don't blinker yourself because of the actions of Hamas which were obviously vile but are no excuse to starve and freeze innocents.

I have nothing but sympathy for everyone who has suffered due to this horrendous and unnecessary war and dearly hope the parties will arrive at a lasting peace very soon.

 

What I do have a problem with is trusted news outlets putting out misleading stories that unduly influence the narrative one way or the other. It's both negligent and dangerous.

Babies of families living in tents have died of hypothermia over the winter, and children have been dying from the conditions. Just because you think it currently looks nice on the weather app and comparing it to Glastonbury ffs does not mean it is made up or exaggerated. f**king hell.

Your post is misleading - as I said it quotes a forecast for future weather whereas the media is talking bout past weather whose stats show was much colder of recent.
