“1.2 million people uprooted by war”
MISLEADING
The claim states 1.2 million people were uprooted, but the provided evidence shows significantly higher numbers across different regions: Anadolu Ajansı reports more than 4.1 million displaced in the Middle East, and another source reports almost 2 million displaced in Gaza alone. While 1.2 million is technically 'contained' within these larger totals, presenting it as the primary figure is misleading as it drastically undercounts the actual scale of displacement reported by the UN and news agencies.
