Wait a minute. Has Israel been lying about this?
„The majority of incidents could not be definitively attributed to a specific actor,” said another slide. “Partners often largely discovered the commodities had been stolen in transit without identifying the perpetrator.”
„Of the 156 incidents of loss or theft reported, 63 were attributed to unknown perpetrators, 35 to armed actors, 25 to unarmed people, 11 directly to Israeli military action, 11 to corrupt subcontractors, five to aid group personnel “engaging in corrupt activities,” and six to “others,“ a category that accounted for “commodities stolen in unknown circumstances,” according to the slide presentation.
„One source familiar with the study also cautioned that the absence of reports of widespread aid diversion by Hamas “does not mean that diversion has not occurred.”“
So- there is absolutely diversion and looting- which a major problem- you just can’t definitively link it to hamas specifically- because hamas aren’t wearing identifying markers.
I don’t trust the USAID, what does the UN have to say?
It is all Israel’s fault then. /s
Incredibly misleading headline
Why would anyone trust USAID anyway? Werent they infoltrated by hamas?
Just going to leave this here. [Israel said Hamas was looting aid — then it armed the gangs who were actually stealing it](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-14/gaza-aid-looting-gangs-yasser-abu-shabab-israel-netanyahu-hamas/105501926)
Israel has lied about everything since the start. The beheaded babies was a lie. The Hannibal doctrine that killled most of the civilians. They lie about everything
Per Palestinian sources (I’m not quoting paragraphs which had only Israeli sources:
>
Earlier in the war, Hamas relied on taxes imposed on commercial shipments and the seizure of humanitarian goods, according to Gazans and current and former Israeli and foreign officials. According to a Gazan who has worked at the border, plainclothes Hamas personnel routinely took inventory of goods at the Rafah crossing, until it closed last year, and at the Kerem Shalom crossing, though it was under IDF control. They also surveyed warehouses and markets. Most of the Palestinians interviewed for this story spoke either on the condition of anonymity or that only their first name be used, for fear of reprisal by Hamas.
>Hamas profited “especially off the aid that had cost them nothing but whose prices they hike up,” said a Gazan contractor who has worked at Gaza’s border crossings during the war.
Over nearly two years, he said, he saw Hamas routinely collect 20,000 shekels (about $6,000) from local merchants, threatening to confiscate their trucks if they did not pay. He recalled that civil servants for the Hamas-led government said several times that they would kill him or call him a collaborator with Israel if he did not cooperate with their demands to divert aid. He said he refused. But he added that he knew at least two aid truck drivers who he said were killed by Hamas for refusing to pay.
>Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a Palestinian American who leads the advocacy group Realign for Palestine, said that Hamas repeatedly modified its strategy for profiting off aid and commerce while counting on the humanitarian crisis to bring the war to an end. “Hamas’s strategy relied on the suffering of Gazans,” said Alkhatib. “But when this strategy failed, it foolishly doubled down on this approach, in large part because it had nothing else in its toolbox to deal with Israel’s ferocious reaction to Oct. 7 and the world’s inability to stop it.”
>“Hamas sees aid as its most important currency,” said a man from Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, who helps manage the distribution of aid. He said that while most of the population had to scrape for water and food, people affiliated with Hamas had been gifted boxes of aid meant for wider distribution.
(section on international organizations denying the theft. In response:
>An Egyptian official briefed on intelligence, however, said that Hamas had indeed stolen some of this food aid. “Hamas is trying to use the aid to survive. It’s happening,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the news media.

Wow Reuters can fuck right off with that title. At this point it’s hard to believe this is anything but purposeful incitement.
Palestinians are Hamas.
Wait the country that’s had a 30 year blockade is still blocking aid? No way.
Irrelevant. They’ll get all the aid they need once they return the hostages.
What a great deal, huh? Free food from the nation they started a war with on 10/7, just for releasing the people they captured from that nation! Surely if the starvation is THAT BAD they’ll jump on that deal right away.
