This image is of a Syrian refugee girl in Amman in Lebanon and has nothing to do with Madaya. The pictures on the right are not of the girl on the left. The same girl that appeared in Al-Arabiya on January 6, 2014.
Again, this picture is from refugee in Europe, which had been released in 2009 in a campaign on drug addiction. Al Jazeera’s twitter page had the image claiming it is from Madaya.
The above, published in www.globalresearch.ca, shows on the right, the picture of a boy, which was originally published on 13th May 2015 from the East Damascus suburb of Douma. This iamge has been widely used in the Indian papers claiming to be one of starvation from Madaya.
The Syrian war hit the front pages on global media with fake pictures of starving children in Madaya, a town besieged by Bashar al-Assad’s forces. It turns out most of the horrifying pictures are taken from a variety of sources, including people suffering from diseases, drug addiction, etc., and have nothing to do with Madaya. Western news agencies and media, blindly followed by the Indian media, acted as tools of propaganda in the guise of news; no fact checking, and easily gamed by so-called activists groups, who in this case, are very much a part of the western regime change operations in Syria. The tragedy for Syria is that while these fake images have been widely carried by global media, the retraction has either not occurred or buried in fine print so that readers will only remember Madaya’s starving images.
