ALBAWABA - Social media platforms were buzzed by the story of the Palestinian child Yazan Kafarna, who died of hunger in Gaza. However, Israeli accounts are turning his story into "funny content".
An Israeli Telegram channel posted a photo of Yazan Kafarna, 9, one of the 18 people who died due to malnutrition and dehydration in Gaza, and mocked him and likened him to an Alien.
Israeli Telegram channel posted the photo of Yazan Kafarna and claimed that this is an upcoming movie on Netflix by the American film director "Steven Spiegulberg".
"AHMET - Pigol from another planet," the post reads along with "Friends, the sequel to E.T. is finally out."

Days before his death, photos of Palestinian child Yazan Kafarna shocked the world and circulated the internet after the child, 10, appeared very skinny due to lack of food in Gaza amid Israeli prevention of aid trucks' entry into the strip since the latest war on Oct. 7.
Yazan Kafarna was earlier hospitalized in southern Gaza's Rafah city with acute hunger and malnutrition. Following his death, his latest photo which almost shows a "skeleton" further took the internet by storm and caused wide controversy.
According to the Palestinian child's family, Kafarna was suffering from cerebral palsy and required a particular diet, adding that before the war he was a healthy boy, Middle East Eye reported.
