An internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, contradicting longstanding allegations by Israel and some US officials.
The review, which examined numerous incidents, concluded that while some aid was lost or stolen, there was no proof of large-scale diversion by Hamas. This finding challenges narratives used to justify restrictions on aid entry and distribution in Gaza. The State Department disputed the report but did not provide concrete evidence to support claims of Hamas looting.
The debate highlights the complexity of aid delivery in Gaza, with multiple actors and accusations complicating the humanitarian response.
