US has given Israel until 12 November to increase aid flow or face cuts to US military aid.

Deadline is 12 November , with a minimum of 350 lorries entering Gaza daily .

UN says only 10% of that number have crossed each day on average since then.

Israel ’s ambassador to the UN , Danny Danon , said it was going “above and beyond its humanitarian obligations”.

But in an unusual statement sent to the BBC on Wednesday , the Israeli foreign ministry contradicted Mr Lammy ’s account. "In general, we do not refer to the content of diplomatic talks. Nevertheless, and in order to remove any doubts, it should be clarified that the description of Foreign Minister Katz 's remarks is not true and does not reflect what was said in the conversation,” it said. “The foreign minister is, of course, committed to the implementation of the Knesset 's legislation as well as to Israel ’s international humanitarian obligations.".
