New footage from Gaza suggests Hamas sat on tons of baby formula during a hunger crisis, apparently to blame Israel for a famine it may have helped manufacture.
Story Snapshot
- A Gazan-born activist filmed a warehouse packed with baby formula and kids’ nutritional shakes allegedly controlled by Hamas during a severe hunger crisis.
- The activist claims Hamas hoarded and even destroyed supplies to fuel a narrative that Israel was starving Gaza’s children.
- Israel and pro-Israel groups cite the video as proof Hamas weaponizes Palestinian suffering to smear the Jewish state.
- UN bodies confirm aid theft by armed gangs but have not yet independently verified Hamas’s direct role in this specific warehouse.
Warehouse Footage That Shocks Parents Everywhere
Video shared by Gazan-American activist Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib shows aisle after aisle of boxes labeled as infant formula and children’s nutritional drinks stacked inside a Gaza warehouse. He says the building falls under the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, meaning this was not a random criminal stash but part of an official network that chose to sit on life-saving nutrition while images of starving babies spread worldwide.
Alkhatib’s accusations come after months of reports warning of possible famine and sky-high child malnutrition in Gaza. International agencies highlighted hunger, while much of the global press framed Israel’s blockade and military operations as the central driver. Into that narrative drops a video suggesting Hamas had at least one warehouse brimming with what desperate mothers needed most and chose not to distribute it.
Watch:
How Hamas Allegedly Turned Baby Formula Into a Political Weapon
According to Alkhatib, Hamas did not merely hoard the aid; it allegedly delayed distribution, restricted access, and in some cases destroyed stock to deepen the crisis. The goal, he argues, was simple and cynical: worsen hunger to supercharge claims that Israel was imposing famine, then leverage that outrage to restore aid channels Hamas prefers and undermine a U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation built to route supplies around the terror group. Under that scenario, suffering children become human shields in an information war.
Reports connected to the footage say this alleged hoarding took place over roughly six months, lining up with a period when news feeds were filled with images of emaciated Gaza infants and anguished parents. Israeli officials have long warned that Hamas diverts and taxes humanitarian goods, and they quickly pointed to this warehouse as visual confirmation that the group weaponizes aid.
Aid Chaos, Armed Gangs, and the Limits of Verification
The picture on the ground remains complicated, and that matters for serious readers who expect facts, not spin. A UN Office for Project Services investigation found that armed gangs were looting and diverting aid, but stopped short of naming Hamas leadership as the culprit in its formal findings. Major agencies such as UNICEF have documented alarming levels of child malnutrition in Gaza, yet they have not issued definitive reports tying that humanitarian disaster directly to organized stockpiling of baby formula by Hamas leadership in this specific case.
That means the most explosive claims currently rest on one activist’s testimony, his video evidence, and media outlets that chose to amplify it. There is still no public, on-the-ground UN or Red Cross forensic report verifying how much formula was stored, when it arrived, who ordered it held back, or whether any senior Hamas official signed off.
Why This Story Matters for American Conservatives
For a U.S. audience already skeptical of globalist narratives and media double standards, the baby-formula warehouse hits several sensitive nerves. It reinforces the concern that too many “human rights” debates are weaponized to bash allies like Israel while giving terrorists a pass. It shows how emotional images—starving infants, desperate mothers—can be wielded to pressure Washington into policies that undermine U.S. security interests and prop up regimes hostile to American values, from religious liberty to basic women’s rights.
Turns Out Hamas Hid Tons of Infant Formula, Children's Nutritional Shakes to Smear Israel

This episode also underscores why many conservatives back Trump’s tougher line on foreign aid and international organizations. When taxpayers’ dollars are shipped into war zones where terrorists control the ground, Americans deserve strict oversight, clear conditions, and rapid exposure when supplies are diverted.
