In an article about the Coronavirus crisis from the perspective of Middle Easterners and others who have suffered severe hardship for years, the Associated Press misleads about the availability of electricity in the Gaza Strip. In today’s article, “Survivors of world conflict offer perspective amid pandemic,” Joseph Krauss and Fares Akram report: “Long before the pandemic, Gazans were forced to adapt to daily hardships. Most only have a few hours of electricity a day, the tap water is undrinkable, and the unemployment rate is about 50%.” (Emphasis added.)


Last week, CAMERA prompted correction of an erroneous AP claim that Israel prevents the entry of surgical supplies into the Gaza Strip.
CAMERA has contacted AP about the misleading assertion that Gaza residents have just “a few hours of electricity a day.”
