A recent internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza.
This finding contradicts longstanding allegations by Israeli officials and some commentators that Hamas was diverting or profiting from aid shipments. The report acknowledges some incidents of aid loss or theft, but attributes many to other factors, including actions by civilians and the Israeli military. The debate over aid distribution in Gaza remains heated, with accusations also directed at the UN and international organizations for delays and logistical challenges.
The USAID findings challenge a key narrative used to justify restrictions on aid entry and distribution in the region.
