A comprehensive internal review by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has 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 aid theft as justification for restricting or blocking aid deliveries to Gaza. The USAID analysis documented only a small number of incidents, with less than one percent of aid reportedly misdirected, and some of these incidents were attributed to actions by the Israeli military or other parties. The report has sparked debate, with some Israeli and Palestinian sources disputing the findings and others highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The controversy underscores the complexity of aid distribution in conflict zones and the political narratives that shape international responses.
