Gaza child starvation investigation

Reingold and Tanya Lukyanova launched an investigation into photos published by international media outlets showing emaciated children in Gaza, noting that the children featured had pre-existing medical conditions, including cerebral palsy. [5] [6] Descriptions of the children were subsequently updated to reflect this in The Washington Post and CNN. [7] [8]

Reingold's coverage of starvation among children in Gaza attracted criticism from Krystal Ball, co-host of Breaking Points , and Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security adviser under the Obama Administration. [9] [10] Jack Mirkinson, senior editor at The Nation and co-founder of Discourse Blog, characterized The Free Press's co-founder Bari Weiss as using her site to deny starvation in Gaza. [11]
