Hamas is stealing all the aid that enters Gaza.
Listen to what this Palestinian woman is saying! pic.twitter.com/MMP0hmvXKG

An elderly woman in Gaza was being interviewed by an Al Jazeera reporter when, no doubt to his surprise, she denounced Hamas for stealing all the aid meant for the people of Gaza. You can see her brave outburst here: “WATCH: Gaza woman tells Al-Jazeera Hamas stealing all the aid,” Times of Israel, December 7, 2023:
In a rare display of public criticism, a Gaza resident tells the Al-Jazeera TV channel that the lack of aid to residents of the Strip is due to Hamas stealing it.
Asked about the supposed trickle of aid coming into Gaza, the woman, says there is plenty of aid, but “all aid goes down (into Hamas tunnels).”
“The aid does not reach the nation, all the people,” she says.
When the journalist from the pro-Palestinian Qatari channel tells her that only a small amount of aid is coming in and it is all being distributed, she shakes her fingers at him and says: “All of it goes into their houses. They take it and will even shoot me or do whatever they want, Hamas.”
In a related story, the IDF recently found receipts in a Hamas-occupied house in Gaza, made out to Moaz Haniyeh, the son of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas’ “political wing,” for $25,000 worth of jewelry. That story can be found here: “IDF shows receipts it says show Haniyeh’s son bought thousands of dollars of jewelry,” Times of Israel, December 7, 2023:
The IDF publishes receipts found during raids on Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip that it sayshows that a son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh bought jewelry in recent years worth thousands of dollars while many in Gaza were going hungry.
The post from IDF Arabic language spokesman Avicha ynAdraee purport to show receipts from both Gaza and Qatar for purchases made by Moaz Haniyeh.
The five receipts total some $25,000.
The post notes that the “amount of just one receipt is equivalent to approximately two years’ wages for a Gaza resident.”
What will Gaza residents make of such lavish spending by a member of Hamas’ royalty? And what will the Gazans think,as they try to survive, and support their families, on a few thousand dollars a year,when they discover that Ismail Haniyeh, who has for years been living in five-star luxury in Doha, has amassed a fortune of $4 billion? Or when they find out that two other Hamas leaders, Moussa bin Marzouk and Khaled Meshaal, both of them also living large in Doha, have helped themselves to $3 billion and $4 billion, respectively, that is, at least a thousand times what the average Palestinian breadwinner can make in a year of toil, assuming he can even find a job?
Once the IDF has destroyed Hamas’ military might, what will the people of Gaza do to the remaining Hamas members, now suddenly vulnerable? They are likely to explode — like the elderly woman who denounced Hamas to an Al Jazeera reporter — in murderous rage at the Hamas operatives still alive in Gaza who have made their lives so miserable for so long. How will those in the West who are now so busy defending Hamas as the legitimate “resistance” to colonial-settler-apartheid-genocidal Israel then react? Will those students on campus now loudly declaring “we are Hamas” and “we echo Hamas” find a new way to express their hatred of Israel? Of course they will.

There is plenty of aid going in, but Hamas takes it all. Then Israel gets blamed.
BLSinSC says
Why has the US not put holds or demanded Qatar put holds on the STOLEN Money and the Leaders? It’s way past time for Qatar to be held responsible as well for THEIR funding of terrorism!
don says
Quatar hatred of Jews ia a natural transfer to love of Hamas.

You make your bed…

Brave woman, especially with Hamas’ track record on how they treat females. I hope and pray that she is all right, because she is the sort of person Gaza will need when it finally comes to rebuilding a decent society.
Anne-Marie Marion says
And this is a surprise?…
It is well documented that Hamas does not give a rat’s rectum about its own people. Why does anybody think that aid will actually get to the people who actually need it?
John Blackman says
the old girl will probably turn up dead in a bombed out alleyway somewhere in the cesspit that is gaza and israel will be blamed . still the feckless west still wants hamas to rule the hapless 30 % that didn’t vote for them . im still waiting for the west to ask hamas to play by the same rules that they expect israel to abide by . yeah … i know .. its not going to happen ! in the meantime reduce gaza to ash , which is what they did to their victims when they invaded israel . the 2 state solution is a fiction so too are fakestinians , commonly known as whinging arabs . towelhead weasel arafat passed up countless opportunities for a 2 state but our feckless , gutless politicians still keep carping on about it . no one in the west would put up with or look the other way with what they are wanting israel to do . america is a loser and they expect israel to do the same . lose ! muslims love death , give them their wish .

So how much of the Humanitarian Aid goes to the needy and how much goes to the Greedy? Its quite plain and simple that the Dictators takes the Lions Share of it all
GohHeung Yong says
Its a depraved affair with those collecting and assembling aid not bothered about whether the needy actually gets them. Personally, the cost of the aid did not come out of their own pockets, and dispensing them is an issue of how it would affect their parasitic political image. Are they going to jump with outrage that Hamas has got most of it ? Only in an upside down universe. Those on the side of the killers are quietly satisfied.

There are plenty of video takes of Hamas stealing all aid and shooting at Gazans
