Claim: Photo of a Palestinian girl who is injured in Israel's airstrikes on Gaza city.
Fact-check: Unrelated old photo of a US girl shared as Palestinian girl injured in Israel airstrikes - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo in the post shows bianca, a little girl from rockford city in the united states of america. bianca was diagnosed with port wine strain and sturge-weber syndrome when she was three months old. bianca's parents had started pulse dye laser treatment on her, hoping it could cure the birthmarks that covered nearly half of her face. the first two weeks of this laser treatment had created red spots on bianca's face which appeared similar to 'burn marks'. this photo has nothing to do with the ongoing conflict between israel and palestine. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
