Israel releases video accusing UN of refusing to distribute aid

Israel has released a YouTube advert attacking the UN and has claimed that the organisation is responsible for preventing aid from getting into Gaza. The video claims that Israel has already "cleared hundreds of trucks".

The advert, published on Israel's foreign affairs ministry's verified channel on YouTube, shows visuals of trucks and what appear to be stockpiles of aid. 

"While Israel cleared hundreds of trucks that crossed into Gaza, the UN refuses to distribute the aid. These trucks stand idle inside Gaza next to growing stockpiles of supplies. This is deliberate sabotage by the UN," the narrator says in the video.

Israeli forces have been shooting and killing aid seekers in Gaza daily. Since morning, the Israeli military has killed more than 11 Palestinians, including at least four aid seekers. 

Gaza’s health ministry said on Thursday that at least 115 Palestinians have starved to death in the enclave due to the Israeli-imposed blockade
