A USAID report analyzing over 150 incidents of missing U.S.-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza found no evidence of widespread Hamas diversion, contradicting previous Trump administration claims. The report, compiled before USAID's operational cease, examined incidents between October 2023 and May 2024. While many cases remained unsolved, the IDF and State Department strongly dispute the findings, citing intelligence suggesting Hamas's exploitation of aid. The disagreement comes amidst the ongoing Gaza war and a humanitarian crisis, with conflicting casualty figures and accusations of aid theft.
