FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the image, and found it to be AI-generated.

A Reverse Image Search conducted by our team yielded no results from credible news sources. Had Ronaldo distributed food to Palestinian children, the event would have been widely covered by major media outlets.

While the image may appear authentic at first glance, closer examination uncovered multiple inconsistencies, strongly suggesting that it was created using artificial intelligence.

On putting the picture through the AI-detection tool — TrueMedia and Hive Moderation, our team found the picture in question to AI-generated.

So, we reach the conclusion that the viral image of Cristiano Ronaldo distributing food to children in Gaza was digitally created.
