UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric says agencies working on the ground in Gaza have not reported that Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid entering the territory, dismissing claims made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Al-Jazeera reports.
Netanyahu had stated that Israel is blocking aid to Gaza “because Hamas steals the supplies and prevents the people of Gaza from getting them.”
However, Dujarric told reporters that the aid was reaching those in need. Asked about Netanyahu’s claims, he said: “None of that has been reported back here by our colleagues on the ground. We have seen, since the ceasefire, there is a much freer and more direct flow [of] aid, and we have not seen any of the looting that we had seen prior to the ceasefire.”
