A Gazan woman has openly criticised the Hamas terror group for taking humanitarian aid “underground” into their tunnel network in an interview broadcast on Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera.
The woman tells the reporter: “Hamas takes everything to their homes,” adding: “All the aid goes underground. It does not reach the people.”
The woman had travelled from Gaza City to Khan Yunis to receive aid.
“We came here from Gaza City. All the aid is meant for us. I am not afraid of it [Hamas]. I am talking to them as well,” she says.
The Al-Jazeera reporter interrupts her before she can finish her sentence and says aid is “being distributed.”
But the woman waves her finger saying, “Hamas takes everything to their homes. They can take me, shoot me, or do whatever they want, Hamas.”

The reporter then takes the microphone off the woman and says: “The situation is unclear.”
The interview follows claims from The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, Unwra, that Hamas has stolen supplies, fuel and medicines in Gaza.
On November 14 an Al Jazeera reporter quickly ended an interview with an elderly man at an Al-Aqsa Hospital who asked: “Why is Hamas hiding among us, civilians? Why don’t they go to hell and hide there instead?"
