Hamas rejects US accusations of Gaza aid looting, condemning continued Israeli strikes and urging accountability amid rising tensions.
Hamas has firmly denied the allegations made by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) suggesting that humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza was looted by groups affiliated with the movement. In a written statement, Hamas described these claims as baseless and misleading, arguing that they serve to justify Washington’s limited humanitarian efforts and cover up the international community’s failure to end the ongoing blockade on Gaza.
The group emphasized that no international or local aid organizations had reported such incidents, labeling CENTCOM’s narrative as a fabricated and fictional scenario. The statement added: the supposed drone footage referred to by the US may have shown a manipulated or misinterpreted image, while ignoring the daily crimes and destruction caused by Israeli forces in Gaza.
Hamas underscored that the world witnesses these atrocities, even if American surveillance drones do not.
Hamas noted that despite the ceasefire declared on October 10, 2025, Israeli airstrikes and raids have continued, killing 254 civilians including 105 children, 37 women, and 9 elderly individuals. The statement accused Washington of turning a blind eye to these humanitarian violations while maintaining political and military support for Israel.
According to Hamas, the average number of aid trucks entering Gaza each day remains around 136, while other trucks carry commercial goods that most residents can no longer afford. The statement warned that America’s continued alignment with Israel’s narrative further deepens its moral downfall.
The group called on the US administration to stop legitimizing Israeli occupation crimes, to uphold its international responsibilities, and to compel Israel to abide by existing agreements and cease its violations. It concluded that the entire world already sees Israel’s crimes, and no drone footage is required to prove them.
