Videos shared on social media in the last two months depict the dangers that hungry Palestinians face when seeking desperately needed aid.

Britain said on Tuesday it would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel takes steps to relieve suffering in Gaza, where starvation is spreading, and reaches a ceasefire in the nearly two-year war with Hamas.

A video taken from a U.N. aid convoy in southern Gaza shows gunshots being fired as Palestinians, mostly teenagers and young men, collect food aid.
