“GAZAWOOD1<\/a>” account on X posted\u00a0a video showing a supermarket in the Deir al-Balah area in the central Gaza Strip, containing food items such as chocolate, juices, and soft drinks, in an attempt to deny the existence of famine in the Strip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The account attached the clip with the following description: \u201cSupermarket now open, located in Deir al-Balah, delivers all over Gaza (just in case you see a \u2018journalist\u2019 mixing salt and water and clearly looking like they need something sweet),\u201d mocking the scenes of journalists in the Gaza Strip drinking salt water, which reflect the extent of the famine, blockade, and food shortages the people of the Strip are suffering from. <\/p>\n\n\n

Returning to the supermarket owner’s Instagram account, “ma7moud_market<\/a>“, it announced on Monday, 21 July 2025, that he was forced to temporarily close the store until the border crossings reopened due to “significantly rising commodity prices.”\u00a0The circulating video<\/a>\u00a0was also posted by the supermarket owner more than four months ago, specifically on 11 March 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“GAZAWOOD1” uses the clip as visual evidence to deny the famine, without mentioning the date of filming or the general availability of these products in Gaza. Thus, it uses exceptional scenes as representative of the overall situation, a fragmented context that ignores the impact of the Israeli blockade, the severe food shortage, and the existence of famine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“GAZAWOOD1<\/a>” is considered one of the most active accounts within the “Pallywood” campaign, which accuses Palestinians of faking scenes and acting. Kashif previously prepared a report documenting the account’s activity, showing how it uses satire and visual curation to deny the existence of famine in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
