Multiple internal analyses by USAID and statements from senior Israeli military officials have found no evidence that Hamas systematically steals humanitarian aid entering Gaza. These findings directly contradict longstanding claims by both Israeli and US officials, who have used the alleged theft as a primary justification for restricting or blocking aid to the region. The reports indicate that while some aid may be lost or misdirected, there is no proof of large-scale diversion by Hamas. This revelation comes amid a severe hunger crisis in Gaza, with international organizations ramping up aid deliveries and airdrops. The new evidence is likely to intensify scrutiny of current aid policies and the humanitarian impact of ongoing restrictions.
