Israel accused Tom Fletcher, the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, of “libel” for a second time after the relief chief said there are 10,000 aid trucks on the Gaza border, cleared and ready to go.

“We’ve got 10,000 trucks on the border right now, cleared [and] ready to go, and we’ll do everything to get them in and save lives,” Fletcher told CNN’s Christine Amanpour on Monday.

When she repeated the number back to him incredulously, Fletcher nodded and replied, “Full of food.”

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) posted the video on X/Twitter, saying, “Look, it’s @UNReliefChief with another libelous lie.”
