NBC News is facing intense backlash after continuing to circulate a discredited and inflammatory claim that “14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours” if humanitarian aid is not delivered to Gaza. The quote, originally made by UNRWA representative Sam Rose Fletcher during a BBC interview, quickly went viral, sparking outrage and prompting mainstream outlets like NBC to amplify the statement without proper verification or context.

Critics accuse NBC and similar outlets of irresponsibly parroting Hamas propaganda aimed at portraying Israel as deliberately starving Palestinian children, a claim not supported by the facts. Public responses to NBC’s post have been scathing:
 +
 +
* “Will we get an expose on why the UN humanitarian chief lied so egregiously?” – Ari Paul.
 +
* “The @UN, @NBCNews, and international media made up and instigated a blood libel against the Jewish people.” – Ron M.
 +
* “NBC wants so much to see starving children… so their dumb readers will think this is a child being starved to death by evil Jews.” – Chava P.
 +
* “Why is @nbcnews acting as Hamas’ mouthpiece parroting false claims without evidence?” – Michal Sabra.
