Multiple internal reviews by the US government (USAID) and statements from Israeli military officials have found no evidence that Hamas systematically steals humanitarian aid entering Gaza. These findings directly contradict longstanding claims by the Israeli government, which has used the alleged theft as a primary reason for restricting or blocking aid to the region. The reports highlight that while some aid may be lost or misdirected, there is no proof of large-scale diversion by Hamas. This revelation comes amid a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where food shortages and hunger are at critical levels. The new evidence is likely to intensify scrutiny of aid restrictions and the broader humanitarian situation in Gaza.
