LONDON: Gaza-based photojournalist Anas Zayed Fteiha has rejected accusations by the German tabloid Bild that some of his widely circulated images — depicting hunger and humanitarian suffering — were staged rather than taken at aid distribution sites. Fteiha, who works with Turkiye’s Anadolu Agency, described the claims as “false” and “a desperate attempt to distort the truth.” “The siege, starvation, bombing, and destruction that the people of Gaza live through do not need to be fabricated or acted out,” Fteiha said in a statement published on social media.
