A newly released 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 directly contradicts longstanding claims by Israel and some US officials, who have cited alleged Hamas theft as justification for restricting aid and supporting militarized aid operations. The report acknowledges some incidents of lost or stolen aid, but attributes many to the chaos of war and actions by various groups, including civilians and Israeli-backed gangs. The State Department disputes the findings but has not provided concrete evidence to support its position.
The controversy highlights the complex challenges of delivering humanitarian assistance in conflict zones and the politicization of aid distribution.
