An internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has found no evidence of systematic or widespread theft of US-funded humanitarian aid by Hamas in Gaza.
This finding directly contradicts previous allegations by Israeli officials and some US sources that Hamas was diverting or stealing large amounts of aid. The report acknowledges some incidents of lost or stolen aid, but attributes many of these to other factors, including actions by civilians and the Israeli military. The State Department disputes the findings but has not provided concrete evidence to support claims of Hamas looting.
The controversy highlights ongoing challenges in delivering and distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict and blockade.
