"On Sunday, Hamas called the United States' accusations unfounded and part of an attempt to justify the further reduction of already limited humanitarian aid, while covering up the international community's failure to end the blockade and starvation imposed on civilians in Gaza. All manifestations of chaos and looting ended immediately after the withdrawal of the [Israeli] occupying forces, proving that the occupation was the only party that sponsored these gangs and orchestrated the chaos, it added."
"Hamas said more than 1,000 Palestinian police and security forces had lost their lives and hundreds were wounded while trying to provide protection for humanitarian aid convoys and ensure that assistance reaches those in need. It affirmed that none of the international or local institutions, nor any driver working with the aid convoys, has filed any report or complaint about looting by Hamas."
CENTCOM released MQ-9 drone footage allegedly showing suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck in a humanitarian convoy in northern Khan Younis on October 31. Hamas denied the accusation, calling the US claim unfounded and politically motivated to justify reducing already limited humanitarian aid and to conceal failure to end the blockade and starvation of Gaza civilians. Hamas asserted chaos and looting ended after Israeli withdrawal, claimed over 1,000 Palestinian police and security forces died protecting convoys, and stated no international or local institution or convoy driver filed complaints of looting by Hamas. CENTCOM said the drone monitored the ceasefire and reported recent international deliveries.
