Associated Press Suggests Gazan Evacuee Died of Starvation -- Without Mentioning She Suffered From Leukemia

A recent Associated Press report suggested that Marah Abu Zuhri, a Gazan woman evacuated to Italy for medical treatment, died from malnutrition, omitting her pre-existing diagnosis of leukemia. The report, widely circulated in major news outlets, focused on malnutrition statistics in Gaza but did not mention that leukemia can cause severe physical deterioration and cardiac arrest, as later confirmed by medical documents released by Israel. Italian media had referenced Zuhri's leukemia, but the Associated Press did not include this detail, nor did it note Israel's role in facilitating her evacuation for humanitarian reasons. The Associated Press has not updated its story to reflect these facts, while other outlets such as the BBC have since amended their coverage to include her medical condition.
