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, directly challenging longstanding Israeli and US allegations.
The report, which has not been previously publicized, disputes claims that aid diversion by Hamas is a major obstacle to humanitarian relief in the region. While Israeli officials and some media sources continue to assert that significant portions of aid are being looted by Hamas or civilians, the USAID study documented only a limited number of incidents, many of which were attributed to other causes, including actions by the Israeli military. The findings have sparked debate, with some US and Israeli officials disputing the report and citing unverified video evidence.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over the distribution and control of humanitarian aid in Gaza amid a deepening crisis.
