  • Fact Check: Gaza aid being dumped? Nope, this video is from 2016 India Today Fact Check found that this video does not show aid to Gaza being dumped into a landfill but Saudi Arabian authorities dumping packs of expired chicken. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check This video is from 2016 and shows Saudi Arabian authorities dumping packs of expired chicken. It has nothing to do with the ongoing conflict in Gaza. A video making the rounds online purports to show relief aid meant for Gazans being dumped. The clip that shows thousands of packaged boxes being thrown out of trucks in the middle of a desert was allegedly shot in Egypt. Sharing this video, a Facebook user wrote, “The aid allocated to Gaza has expired in Rafah, Egypt, and is in a landfill. While people are dying of hunger in Gaza and the Arabs are unable to bring in aid until it has expired. What a shame.” The archive of such a post can be seen here. India Today Fact Check found that the viral video is from 2016 and shows Saudi Arabian authorities dumping several packs of expired chicken. Our Probe We noticed that many people responding to the viral video pointed out that it wasn’t from Egypt but from Saudi Arabia, and that it showed expired chicken being dumped. We then searched online using relevant keywords and found several media reports from November 2016, which contained screengrabs of this video. Al Arabiya reported that these boxes containing expired chicken were confiscated from 25 refrigerated trucks before distribution. Around 80,000 packs of expired chicken not fit for human consumption were destroyed as part of an official operation under the supervision of the Secretariat of Saudi Arabia’s al-Qassim region. When we reverse-searched screengrabs from the viral video, we found that a longer version of this clip was uploaded to YouTube on November 17, 2016. Thus, it’s clear that an old Saudi Arabian video from 2016 was falsely shared as Gaza aid being dumped in Egypt.
