Amidst the international outrage that followed the publication of pictures showing apparently malnourished children in Gaza and the widespread use of photos showing Gaza civilians scrambling for aid, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung alleges that some of those photos were staged by a Hamas-affiliated photographer.
In a recent article, Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that the Gaza-based photographer Anas Zayed Fteiha staged photos depicting the “real suffering of Palestinians” in a manner that is “in favor of Hamas and its propaganda.”
The newspaper showed a picture of Fteiha apparently staging the civilians in the area where the food would be distributed, making it look as if they were desperately waiting in line for the food distribution. However, as other pictures in the series show, the food distribution did not occur until sometime after Fteiha took his pictures.
The article did not deny the acute hunger among parts of the Gaza population; however, it noted that Fteiha, who works for a Turkish agency, regularly posts anti-Israel and antisemitic content on his social media accounts, and that his pictures often support the Hamas narrative regarding the civilian situation and Israel’s conduct in the war.
