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 directly contradicts longstanding Israeli claims that Hamas diverts aid for its own use, which has been a key justification for restricting or blocking aid deliveries to Gaza. The USAID review documented only a small number of incidents, with less than one percent of aid reportedly misdirected, and some of these losses attributed to actions by the Israeli military. The report has sparked debate, with Israeli officials and some commentators disputing the findings, while others argue that the narrative of Hamas aid theft has been used to justify policies that worsen Gaza's humanitarian crisis. The controversy highlights the complexity of aid distribution in conflict zones and the political narratives that shape international responses.
