United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher says the US has "cheered on" Israel’s war efforts in Gaza. This comes after a Sky News investigation showed an increase in the number of aid workers killed in the conflict.
Speaking to Sky’s Yalda Hakim, Mr Fletcher says Israel "want to completely control the delivery of aid", and there is a "deliberate strategy of withholding aid" by Israel in order "to put more pressure on Hamas to release hostages".
He goes on to say that right now, there is only a "tiny, tiny fraction of what is needed to stop massive starvation and disease in Gaza", and that UN is "not allowed" to deliver the much needed aid.
Yalda starts by asking Mr Fletcher about his reaction after eight Palestinian medics were recovered from a mass grave.
