A recent internal analysis by USAID found no evidence that Hamas has systematically stolen US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, contradicting longstanding claims by Israel and some US officials.
The report, completed in June, states that most incidents of aid theft cannot be definitively attributed to any specific actor, including Hamas. Despite these findings, the US State Department and Israeli officials continue to assert that aid diversion by Hamas is a significant problem. The controversy comes amid a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with large amounts of aid reportedly undelivered or stuck at distribution points.
The debate highlights ongoing tensions over how best to deliver aid and ensure it reaches civilians in need.
