A recent internal analysis by USAID has found no evidence that Hamas is systematically stealing US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, contradicting longstanding claims by Israel and some US officials.
The report, completed in June, states that most incidents of aid theft cannot be definitively attributed to any specific actor, including Hamas. Despite these findings, the US State Department and Israeli officials continue to dispute the report, citing other sources and video evidence. The controversy comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with debates over aid distribution and accusations of manipulation by various parties.
The findings raise questions about the rationale behind certain aid policies and the narratives used to justify them.
