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 Israel and some US officials, who have claimed that Hamas diverts or steals 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 debate over aid distribution in Gaza remains contentious, with accusations also directed at the UN and international organizations for bottlenecks in aid delivery. The USAID findings are likely to influence ongoing discussions about humanitarian access and oversight in the region.
