A recent internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) found no evidence of systematic or widespread theft of US-funded humanitarian aid by Hamas in Gaza.
This finding contradicts longstanding claims by Israeli officials and some US sources that Hamas has been diverting or stealing large amounts of aid. The USAID report documented only a limited number of incidents, many of which were attributed to other causes, including actions by the Israeli military. The State Department has disputed the findings but has not provided concrete evidence to support its position.
The debate over aid diversion comes amid a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with thousands of aid trucks reportedly stalled at the border and multiple parties blaming each other for the bottleneck.
