Palestinians are first seen waiting behind a fence, before a voice - off-camera, with an American accent - shouts instructions. They are then seen entering the site and shouting as they run towards what is assumed to be aid.

BBC Verify geolocated the video to the SDS1 distribution site, west of Rafah. It is said to have been filmed on Tuesday.

The GHF is a controversial Israel- and US-backed group that aims to bypass the UN as the main supplier of aid to Palestinians.

The UN and other aid groups refuse to co-operate with the GHF system, saying it contravenes the humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence.
