Warning this story contains images and descriptions of a sexual nature
Two United Nations workers in Israel have been suspended without pay after a video was posted to Twitter allegedly showing one of them having sex in the back of a car.
The video, taken on a Tel Aviv street, shows a man in the back of the UN-marked car being straddled by a woman in a red dress.
The second worker, another man, appears to be asleep in the front of the car.
The video, taken last month, was widely shared on social media and prompted an investigation by the UN.
The two men were identified as UN staff working for the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation, the BBC reported.
They were suspended without pay on Thursday until the investigation was concluded.
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN's secretary-general, said he was "shocked and deeply disturbed" by the footage.
Dujarric told the BBC the allegations were serious and they had failed to "observe the standards of conduct expected of international civil servants".
It is not the first time UN workers have been investigated for sexual misconduct. In 2018 an investigation was launched in Fiji after three women made allegations against two UN workers.
In 2018 Martina Brostrom, a policy advisor at UNAIDS, told CNN that UN assistant secretary-general Luiz Loures grabbed her in a hotel elevator, forcibly kissed her and tried to drag her to his hotel room during a conference in 2015.
