With the mainstream media and foreign governments falsely blaming Israel for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, newly released figures show that Hamas and other terrorist groups are stealing most of the aid coming into the enclave. Since May 19, 2025, close to 90 percent of trucks entering Gaza were either looted or hijacked by the terrorists, the latest data released by the United Nations indicates.While the UN report does not name Hamas, Israeli reports suggest that the Gaza-based terrorist group is behind this large-scale looting and black market profiteering of humanitarian aid. According to a recent estimate, Hamas made at least one billion dollars in 2024 alone by manipulating the supply of aid in Gaza.https://twitter.com/EYakoby/status/1952440279178629582The Times of Israel published the UN data suggesting mass theft of aid by Hamas:
The United Nations Office for Project Services has published data showing that since the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19 and up until August 5, a total of 2,604 aid trucks were collected by the UN after entering the Strip. Of those, 2,309 did not reach their intended destinations inside the enclave.According to the organization, this was due to the trucks being “intercepted either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza.” This accounts for 88% of all trucks.In recent months, the percentages were even higher. According to UNOPS, in June, 1,155 trucks were collected by the UN and its partner organizations, and 1,048 of them — 90.7% — were intercepted before reaching their destinations. In July, the figure rose to 94%, with 1,161 trucks collected and 1,093 intercepted.
These UN figures correspond with similar assessments made by the Israeli military and civilian experts. “Israeli army sources [say] that the real obstacle to feeding Gaza is Hamas,” the Israeli news agency TPS reported last Thursday. “The data showed that 98.6% of the stolen aid was food, with the remainder designated as ‘solid fuel,’ ‘nutrition, and ‘health.'”
Hamas is deliberately creating a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the TPS report observed:
“There is some hunger in Gaza, and it exists only in places Hamas is pursuing it, not in other areas,” said Professor Eytan Gilboa an expert in international relations and media at Reichman University in Herzliya.
While most of the UN aid ends up in the hands of Hamas and other terrorist groups, the U.S.-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is delivering food and essential supplies directly to the residents of the enclave — bypassing Hamas.
The GHF has provided over 100 million meals since launching its operations in late May. “Every meal we deliver in Gaza is a result of careful planning, strong commitment, and extraordinary courage from our team on the ground,” the organisation said in a statement on Tuesday. “With more than 108 million meals provided thus far, GHF continues to prove that safe, direct aid is possible even in the most challenging conditions.”
The Israel and U.S.-backed aid agency has been carrying out its work despite deadly terror attacks by Hamas on its staffers and distribution sites.
