That is not true. Gaza get lots of money from Qatar, Iran, charities,
Gas-rich Qatar too has paid hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza since 2014, at one point spending $30 million per month to help operate the enclave’s sole power plant and to support needy families and public servants in the Hamas-run government.
“Qatari aid provides 100 dollars to the poorest Palestinian families and extends the period of electricity during a day in Gaza,” a Qatari official said in response to a request for government comment, adding that it had helped “maintain stability and quality of life for … Palestinian families”.
Qatar walks a foreign policy tightrope, hosting the region’s largest U.S. military base, the Taliban and other groups, often allowing it to mediate.
Qatar’s funding for Gaza actually passes through Israel, a source familiar with the process said.
The funds are transferred electronically from Qatar to Israel. Israeli and U.N. officials hand-carry cash over the border to Gaza.
The cash is distributed directly to needy families and public servants in Gaza and each family or individual must sign next to their name that they’ve received the cash. One copy of that sheet goes to Israel, one goes to the UN and one goes to Qatar.
“Qatari aid to the Gaza Strip is fully coordinated with Israel, the UN and the U.S.,” the Qatari government official said.
In recent years, Qatar bought fuel from Israel for Gaza’s sole power station. It also sent Egyptian fuel that Hamas can resell, using the proceeds for salaries.
Stephen Reimer of the think tank, Royal United Services Institute, predicted fresh attempts to fully restrict the group’s access to formal financial channels would have limited success. “Their financing tactics have grown to circumvent these.”
