Hamas is controlling the food supply as a tactic to garner more teenage recruits, an aid worker in Gaza and experts have told The Press Service of Israel.
In recent weeks, claims of a famine and repeated pressure on Israel to provide food for people in the Gaza strip has led to the establishment of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an American-funded initiative that works alongside Israel to feed Gazans.
As the focus of world news shifted to the Iran-Israel conflict, TPS-IL spoke to experts and people on the ground to understand what is really happening with the food supply in Gaza.
“Hamas control aid, it’s one of their things. We see it all, Hamas act physically. This is not intelligence.” A member of Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), told TPS-IL. “…Hamas takes the aid in Gaza.”
