A new internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza.
This finding directly contradicts longstanding claims by Israel and some US officials that Hamas was diverting or looting large quantities of aid, which has been used to justify restrictions on aid entry. The USAID report acknowledges some limitations in monitoring but found no proof of widespread theft. The debate over aid delivery continues, with some sources alleging looting by various actors, but the US government review undermines the narrative of massive Hamas diversion.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza remains severe, with ongoing disputes over responsibility for aid distribution bottlenecks.
