  • A video showing several people sleeping on the ground in the open in going viral on social media to claim that this is a recent clip from Gaza Strip. How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the video and came across a YouTube video uploaded by a user on 6 August 2023. It matched the viral video and the title stated that the video shows over 1.5 million people sleeping in the open in Lisbon during 37th World Youth Day (WYD). What's World Youth Day?: WYD is an event where the youth get to encounter the Pope and it celebrated in every three years in a different country. In 2023, WYD was celebrated in Lisbon, Portugal from 1 to 6 August. Comparing the viral video with more visuals: Taking a cue, we performed a relevant keyword search which led us to several visuals uploaded by stock images website like Alamy and Shutterstock. We compared the images to the viral video and found similarities. We compared the images to the viral video and found similarities.
