4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sharren Haskel, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister:
"If you go by the numbers of calorie per person, which is how the United Nations is meant to analyze and check the facts, it’s usually 2,100 or 2,300 calories per person. We have made sure that there’s well over 3,000 calories per person, so no, I dispute that by the fact. And I want to say another thing. The United Nations numbers are false because they are counting only United Nations agencies reports. This does not include international governmental organizations. It does not included the Gaza Humanitarian Fund and other agencies who do not go through the United Nations. So, no, I dispute that completely."
5. Wide of aid awaiting collection
6. Various of aid, text reading (English) "Medical. ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross)"
7. Close of aid, text reading (English) "Extra Lean, Corned Beef".
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sharren Haskel, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister:
"And you’ve seen, you’ve reported many of those latest funeral images. Does anyone look starving there? I saw very well-fed people who were marching there in the street. So I’m sorry. If you buy into the Hamas propaganda, if you are relying on Hamas’s information, then you’re absolutely wrong. If you want to see the actual numbers, we provide them. They are published in the COGAT (the Israeli military body in charge of humanitarian aid to Gaza) website every single day."
9. Close of a sticker on aid collection, text reading (English) "World Food Program. White Flour."
10. Various of aid collection
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Sharren Haskel, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister:
"One should ask himself, who would oppose a distribution of millions of meals free of charge? And the answer would be a terrorist organization. It’s very sad to see many in the international community or the general media joining this party."
12. Pan from a reporter to journalist walking away as loud speakers alert of incoming fire, UPSOUND (Hebrew) "Red Alert".
13. Journalists and Haskel sitting next to cement walls for protections as announcing the end of the alert, UPSOUND (Hebrew) "Back to normal and end to the red alert."
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Sharren Haskel, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister:
"There are two water pipelines that are coming in from Israel and one pipeline that is coming in that is in construction or reconstruction through Egypt and I have to say there’s desalination plant that was given, as you know, the fuel to power it as well to be able to desalinate water as well."
15. Various of aid collection
STORYLINE:
Israel’s deputy foreign minister said Thursday that the United Nations numbers about starvation in the Gaza Strip "are false".
"The United Nations numbers are false because they are counting only United Nations agencies reports. This does not include international governmental organizations. It does not included the Gaza Humanitarian Fund and other agencies who do not go through the United Nations. So, no, I dispute that completely," said Sharren Haskel during an organized tour by the Israeli foreign ministry of aid collection at the Israeli side of the Kerem Shalom crossing.
