Nearly 90% of Gaza Aid Trucks Looted by Palestinians or Hijacked by Hamas: UN
GAZA STRIP, AUG 5 – United Nations data reveal that 88.7% of aid trucks entering Gaza are intercepted or looted by Hamas, which uses the resources to fund its armed wing and control the population.
- Since May 19, 2025, nearly 90 percent of aid trucks entering Gaza have been intercepted or seized by Hamas and various armed militant groups, severely hindering the delivery of humanitarian supplies.
- The interception problem stems from Hamas commandeering aid, using it as a revenue source and weapon, while Israel aims to isolate Hamas and distribute aid directly to civilians.
- More than 2,600 UN trucks have delivered aid into Gaza, although only about 300 have reached designated relief locations; meanwhile, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed upwards of 100 million meals by delivering assistance directly, circumventing Hamas.
- A senior Israeli official said the UN failed by allowing Hamas to control the aid narrative and called the system "operationally dysfunctional and politically compromised."
- This situation implies continued aid misappropriation risks worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis and calls for improved distribution efforts outside Hamas control.
