A May 2021 video showing a convoy at a standstill on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing with Gaza has been falsely described online as showing an aid convoy being denied entry to Gaza in 2023.
“Breaking: Aid vehicles at Rafah border refused entry into Gaza by Israel,” reads a post sharing the drone video on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The video was also shared with a similar caption on Facebook.
While the video does show an area near the Rafah crossing, which was confirmed by Reuters using satellite imagery, it was not filmed in 2023.
Egyptian news channel Al Nahar first shared the video on Facebook on May 31, 2021.
