US government review found no evidence of widespread Hamas theft of Gaza aid

One of the big lies Netanyahu keeps repeating is that Hamas is stealing the food aid going into Gaza.

That's simply not true and like the false claim that Hamas is using Palestinians as human shields is a means to blame the victims for the genocide Israel is carrying out.

An internal US government review found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, contradicting the State Department’s claims that were used to justify backing a controversial private organization that took over aid distribution in the enclave.

Moreover, the review found only a small amount of misdirection of USAID-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza – less than one percent was affected by loss, theft, diversion, fraud or waste.

“There was no indication that there was a systemic loss due to Hamas interference or theft or diversion,” a source familiar with the report told CNN.

Could just use drones to drop aid packages, and let the people divide it among themselves.

Is there even any food for them to steal?

Children are starving to death. Doctors who haven't yet been arrested by the IDF are passing out from hunger.

Israel is intentionally throttling food and medical aid.

There's no need for that if Israel would let the aid convoys in and stop shooting people who are waiting for food.

It would get the aid directly to where it is needed efficiently AND without endangering lives.
