UK humanitarian aid to Gaza scrutinized after document allegedly warns of links to Hamas-controlled ministry
Fox News
A U.K. government document flagged the possibility that Gaza cash assistance could benefit Hamas, a claim British officials deny. But critics say the issue remains unresolved.
The document, dated November 2022 and obtained by NGO Monitor, outlines the U.K.'s humanitarian strategy in the occupied Palestinian territories. One section references a UNICEF-administered cash assistance program in Gaza coordinated with the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD).

The NGO Monitor report claims, "The MoSD in Gaza is affiliated with the de facto authorities and thus U.K. Aid can be linked directly or indirectly with supporting the de facto authority in Gaza (Hamas), which is part of a proscribed group."
