Israel pays Google to promote video about Gaza famine
Israel has published a video on YouTube accusing the UN of 'deliberate sabotage' of humanitarian efforts in Gaza by failing to distribute aid. Details on the Google-owned platform show that the video is promoted in the UK by the Israeli Government Advertising Agency.
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 killed more than 1,000 aid seekers in Gaza. Since morning, the Israeli military has killed more than 11 Palestinians, including at least four aid seekers.
At least 115 Palestinians have starved to death in the enclave due to the Israeli-imposed blockade.
