The Israeli denials in this article should be taken in context.

> 41-year-old Mohammad al-Hasanat didn’t die of starvation — he suffered from untreated diabetes and died from complications of severe hypercatabolism.

Starvation causes hypercatabolism; it means your body is eating its own proteins. Statements all the way up to Netanyahu that no starvation is happening in Gaza are deeply, profoundly absurd.

Is the title here editorialized? Or did BBC update their title because the old one was incorrect?

Israeli government is using famine to kill people in Gaza. It's a genocide, all countries should condemn Israeli government and demand to stop the ethnic cleansing.

I mean, does it matter?

Patients with conditions like leukemia (and children, and the elderly) are going to suffer first from malnutrition. Even if the hospitals hadn't all been blown up.
