A recent internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza.
This finding contradicts longstanding allegations by Israel and some US officials, who have claimed that Hamas diverts or steals large amounts of aid. The report acknowledges some incidents of lost or stolen aid, but attributes many of these to the chaos of conflict and actions by various groups, including civilians and Israeli-backed gangs. The USAID review also notes limitations in its ability to track all aid, but its conclusions undermine a major justification for restricting or militarizing aid deliveries.
The debate over aid distribution continues, with accusations against both Hamas and international organizations regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
