A baseless rumor is spreading through WhatsApp groups in Pakistan. The rumor involves an audio message claiming that over 3,000 orphaned children from Gaza have recently arrived in Islamabad and are now available for adoption. The message even includes a supposed contact number for interested families.
Here’s what you need to know:
- There is no truth to this claim. There haven’t been any reports of such a large number of children arriving from Gaza.
- Be wary of such messages. Sharing unverified information can cause confusion and distress.
- If you receive this message, do not share it further. You can report it to the platform where you received it.
It’s important to rely on trusted sources for information, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like adoption.
