The Claim

Emerging story
Recently, several X accounts circulated a video purporting to show a Palestinian child sleeping on rocks in a refugee camp in the city of Rafah after losing his family. The posts claim that the child traveled four days to reach the camp after his family was killed in the recent Israeli war on Gaza.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.
Misbar's team found that the video dates back to February 2024 for a charity called “Ashiyaana.angels.” The video shows a homeless child sleeping in a mountain, hungry and exhausted, before the charity provides him with much-needed relief, clothes and money.
“Ashiyaana.angels” is a charitable community that gathers donations to help those in need through charitable initiatives, providing essential resources, and spreading awareness about important causes.
Gaza: Children Under Attack
The vast majority of casualties in Gaza since the start of the war have been children and women, according to Save the Children. The organization reports that over 13,800 children have lost their lives.
UNICEF, the United Nations agency for children, has estimated that a minimum of 17,000 Palestinian children are presently unaccompanied or separated from their parents.
According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, approximately 1,000 children in Gaza have lost one or both of their legs.
The Ongoing Israeli Aggression on Gaza
The Israeli army has killed at least 33,137 Palestinians since the start of the war on October 7, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. Thousands more are missing beneath the debris of collapsed buildings and infrastructure, and are presumed dead.
Meanwhile, 75,815 people have been wounded since the war began, which is approximately four out of every 100 people in Gaza.
