Multiple reports from Israeli military officials, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and other sources have found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole humanitarian aid intended for Gaza. These findings contradict longstanding claims by Israeli and some US officials that Hamas routinely diverted aid, a justification often used for restricting or blocking aid deliveries. The USAID analysis documented only a small number of incidents, with most aid reaching its intended recipients. Despite these findings, some political figures continue to assert that Hamas is responsible for widespread aid theft, while humanitarian organizations warn that Gaza remains in a severe hunger crisis. The revelations have intensified scrutiny of aid policies and the narratives used to justify them amid ongoing famine conditions in Gaza.
