The UN's Tom Fletcher wrongly told the BBC, "There are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them." The post BBC Presses UN Agency to Correct Viral Claim that ‘14,000 Babies’ In Gaza ‘Will Die In the Next 48 Hours’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The UN later cited a report that said there could be 14,100 cases of malnutrition in children in Gaza between April 2025 and March 2026, a timeframe of one year not two days.

An estimated 14,000 babies could die without essential aid according to the U.N. as Israel military operations intensify.
