No proof Hamas stole US-funded aid in Gaza, says USAID study
A recent internal review by the US government has found no evidence that the Palestinian group Hamas systematically diverted US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to an unreported study by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The findings contradict previous assertions made by both 'Israel' and the US, which had been used to justify a controversial new armed private aid operation. The USAID study, conducted by one of its bureaus and completed in late June, examined 156 cases of lost or stolen aid reported by USAID partner organizations between October 2023 and May 2025. According to a slide presentation of the findings, the analysis found "no reports alleging Hamas" benefited from US-supplied aid. While the study noted it was often unable to attribute incidents of theft to a specific actor, it highlighted that 44 of the 156 incidents were "either directly or indirectly" due to 'Israeli' military actions, including airstrikes or evacuation orders. A State Department spokesperson disputed the findings, but did not provide corroborating evidence. The USAID report emerges amidst a deepening food crisis in Gaza, and humanitarian agencies continue to warn of an escalating famine due to deliberate starvation. This dire situation has made aid distribution points highly dangerous, particularly those managed by the new armed private aid operation, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is backed by the US and "Israel." According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, more than 1,083 people have been killed and over 7,275 wounded while attempting to access food at aid distribution points since the war began. United Nations reports corroborate high casualty figures around these private aid hubs, with UN human rights office OHCHR noting 875 people killed by July 13 while trying to get food, with 674 of those near GHF sites. T he head of the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has publicly called the GHF system a "death trap costing more lives than it saves." The ongoing genocide in Gaza has resulted in more than 59,500 Palestinian fatalities since October 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The ministry indicates that over half of those killed are women and children. The war has severely devastated the enclave's infrastructure, gutted its health system, and led to widespread severe food shortages.

Gaza health chief warns of mass starvation, collapse
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Health Ministry in Gaza, has warned of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged enclave, describing the situation as living in a 'triangle of death' due to the continued 'Israeli' assault and blockade that has lasted over nine months. Speaking on Roya TV's Donya Ya Donya program, Al-Bursh expressed gratitude to Jordan - its leadership, government, and people - for their continued support to Gaza, saying Jordan's stance is "deeply appreciated by the people of the Strip." Al-Bursh said residents of Gaza are facing a severe famine, with many surviving only on salt and water for days. 'Some people have lost up to 25 kilograms in recent weeks,' he noted, describing the situation as widespread across the population. He cited alarming findings from a recent health survey of pregnant women and children, which revealed that over 50% now suffer from acute malnutrition, a sharp increase from just 0.5% at the start of the month. Al-Bursh called the figures 'terrifying jumps' that point to total nutritional collapse. He accused the Israeli Occupation of deliberately creating crises and committing a slow-motion genocide against civilians. Over 13% of Gaza's population, he said, are crammed into an area no larger than one square kilometer, around 40,000 people living in what he called a 'maze of death.' Al-Bursh concluded by stating that Gaza has entered the fourth - and possibly fifth - stage of famine, warning that the international community remains silent as the war continues with no real pressure to stop it. Also appearing on the program, Jordanian doctor Ihab Jaradat, who recently returned from a medical mission to Gaza with the 'Mercy Around the World' delegation, described the situation as 'catastrophic in every sense.' He said that Nasser Medical Complex is functioning without the most basic resources, while the population in northern Gaza lives among ruins, tents, and debris. 'The medical staff is completely exhausted, trying to save lives in impossible conditions,' Jaradat said, highlighting the severe shortage of medications, equipment, and sanitary infrastructure.
