A purported alert from the United Nations about the killing of migrant workers in the Middle East for organ harvesting has been shared on Facebook and Twitter hundreds of times. The posts also warns people about fake agencies who offer employment abroad but kill the victims and remove their organs. The claim is false: the purported alert is fabricated and the UN denied ever issuing any such alert.
The purported alert was published on Facebook here on March 2, 2021.
The post’s caption reads: ”#SHAREtoSaveLives Join : MediCall Health Solutions.”
The supposed alert, which features the UN s logo, reads:
Sierra Leone Telegraph: 30 December 2020:
The black market for human body parts is booming in the Middle East. A kidney now costs 262,000 dollars (131 million CFA francs); the heart costs 119,000 dollars (60 million CFA francs) and the liver costs 157,000 dollars (79 million CFA francs).
Beware of fake foreign agencies promising to take you abroad to work. They process your papers, pay your plane ticket and take you abroad pretending they will find you a job, but instead, they kill their victims, recover their vital organs for sale. Many people have been offered jobs in the Middle East, and so far their families have been unable to locate them.
