WATCH: Gaza woman tells Al-Jazeera Hamas stealing all the aid

In a rare display of public criticism, a Gaza resident tells the Al-Jazeera TV channel that the lack of aid to residents of the Strip is due to Hamas stealing it.

Asked about the supposed trickle of aid coming into Gaza, the woman, says there is plenty of aid, but “all aid goes down (into Hamas tunnels).”

“The aid does not reach the nation, all the people,” she says.

When the journalist from the pro-Palestinian Qatari channel tells her that only a small amount of aid is coming in and it is all being distributed, she shakes her fingers at him and says: “All of it goes into their houses. They take it and will even shoot me or do whatever they want, Hamas.”

2. "The reporter tries to convince her otherwise but she continues to attack Hamas"

What kind of reporter tries to convince an interviewee who is telling her truth that she's wrong? That's not how "reporting" is supposed to work!

Anyone who still thinks that Hamas gives a flying fig about the Palestinian people needs to watch this, as many times as necessary.

8. Still, many people, including some on DU, consider Al Jazeera to be objective, despite much evidence to the contrary.

I watch them because they have access to Gaza, but that access comes at a price.

the truth comes through.
I admire this brave woman, hopefully she'll inspire others to bear witness to Hamas abuse of the people they're supposedly protecting.
