Armed Hamas Militants Caught Hijacking Aid Trucks in Gaza
Recent reports and footage from Gaza reveal that Hamas stealing aid in Gaza is not just a claim but a troubling reality. In Deir al-Balah, masked and armed Hamas members were caught on video hijacking a truck loaded with humanitarian food supplies. The convoy was not carrying aid from the UN or EU. It came from Israel through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, intended specifically for Palestinian civilians suffering due to ongoing conflict and shortages.
Instead of reaching hungry families, the aid was diverted. Witnesses confirmed that Hamas operatives stole the contents and later sold the food in local markets. These funds are reportedly redirected to support their fighters and fuel further conflict.
Hamas Exploits Aid While Civilians Suffer
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening by the day. People are in desperate need of food, water, and medical assistance. Yet, as international aid tries to reach them, Hamas intercepts and confiscates these supplies.
Sources say flour and other essentials were rerouted from aid trucks and stored for Hamas’s use. Residents report being forced to buy back stolen goods at inflated prices, a cruel act that deepens the suffering of the vulnerable.
While many around the world accuse Israel of blocking aid, the evidence suggests something else. Aid does get in, but Hamas controls who receives it, turning food into a political weapon.
Hamas Called Out as the Real Blockade in Gaza
Critics are now calling Hamas the real blockade in Gaza. Once seen by some as defenders of Palestinian rights, the group is now increasingly viewed as warlords, exploiting a tragic crisis for their gain.
Israel is not legally required to supply an enemy state with humanitarian assistance. Yet, it continues to send food and supplies. Sadly, much of it is intercepted before it ever reaches the hands of starving civilians. The international community has been pushing for secure aid corridors. But with Hamas manipulating every channel, even that goal remains out of reach.
