UNITED NATIONS: The UN said that it was "shocked and deeply disturbed" by a footage of an alleged sex act in one of its official cars in Israel, the media reported on Saturday.

"We are shocked and deeply disturbed by what is seen on this video," Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told the BBC on Friday.

Describing the behaviour seen in the 18-second video as "abhorrent", he said an investigation led by the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services was "moving very quickly".

That kind of behaviour "goes against everything we stand for and having been working to achieve in terms of fighting misconduct by UN staff", Dujarric told the BBC.

The video, shared widely on social media, was allegedy filmed on a main street by Tel Aviv's seafront. (IANS)
