On Tuesday, Israeli officials confirmed that Hamas is siphoning off 95% of cement transferred into Gaza for rebuilding homes and other humanitarian projects.
“From our own investigations we found that out of every 100 sacks of cement that come into the Gaza strip [from Israel], only five or six are transferred to civilians,” Israeli Foreign ministry director-general Dore Gold stated at the UN World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul. “A hundred sacks is what is necessary to rebuild a home, the rest are confiscated by Hamas and used for military purposes.”
