<div class="field field-field-text"><p style="margin-bottom:11px">A US governmental analysis found that there was no evidence of theft carried out by Hamas of US funded aid, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/usaid-analysis-found-no-evidence-massive-hamas-theft-gaza-aid-2025-07-25/">Reuters</a>.</p>
<p>The findings challenge the justification Israel and US provide to reason their backing of aid operations in Gaza.</p>
<p>According to Reuters, an office affiliated with the US Agency for International Development has conducted the analysis and completed it late June.</p>
<p>The study examined 156 incidents of theft or loss of US funded aid reported by US aid partner organisations between October 2023 and May 2025.</p>
