"This is how Hamas police take control of humanitarian aid"
Recent reports have revealed alarming statistics regarding the control of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
In a conversation with i24NEWS, sources indicated that out of approximately 200 aid trucks that entered Gaza in the last few days, over 170 were reportedly robbed. Residents of Gaza suggest that this systematic theft is a tactic used by Hamas to maintain control over the flow of aid.
According to Mekorot, the organization behind the report, many of the robbers are affiliated with gangs and militias that operate under Hamas's influence. These groups reportedly charge transit taxes ranging from $27,000 to $50,000, or 50% of the value of the truck's contents. Some militias receive a monthly payment of $10,000 from Hamas to ensure that they prevent any interference with the aid deliveries.
