A US-based Palestinian activist has shared footage of tons of hidden baby formula and children’s nutritional shakes hidden by Hamas terrorists.

The piles of formula caught on camera inside a Gazan warehouse shows how Hamas was trying to cause starvation among children.

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, an anti-Hamas activist, accused the terror group of hoarding food meant for infants and young children to purposefully damage the public perception of Israel.

“During the worst of the days of the hunger crisis in Gaza in the past six months, Hamas deliberately hid literal tons of infant formula and nutritional shakes for children by storing them in clandestine warehouses belonging to the Gaza Ministry of Health,” Alkhatib wrote on X.

“The goal, as I said then, was to worsen the hunger crisis and initiate a disaster as part of the terror group’s famine narrative in a desperate effort to stop Israel’s onslaught against Gaza and force the return of the UN’s aid distribution mechanism, and away from the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF),” he added.

“Now, activists in the Strip are documenting the waste and deliberate disposal of tons of infant formula, nutritional children’s shake, and children’s powdered milk, which Hamas had hoarded away, given the saturation of the coastal enclave with humanitarian aid after the ceasefire two months ago.”

Baby formula was at the centre of repeated accusations against Israel. In July 2025, various news outlets reported claims by international aid organisations saying that Israel has been hampering the delivery.

Responding to the report, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, which facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza asserted that it does not prevent or restrict the entry of “baby food, including milk substitutes and baby formula, into the Gaza Strip. “As evidence, in recent weeks more than 1,400 tons of baby food have been brought in through the crossings, as per the requests of international aid organizations, following stringent security checks.”

In the post shared by Alkhatib, he continued, “When countless other Palestinian activists and I from Gaza said this back in July, August, and September, we were villainized, attacked, threatened, and made into pariahs by the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex and activist mafias, even though for Gazans, the evidence was so clearly apparent before our eyes. What those in the West continue to fail to understand is that there is no being pro-Palestine without also having a serious vigilance against Hamas’s continued manipulation of international public opinion to hide behind the Strip’s civilian population’s suffering, something that the terrorist organization’s own actions have led to and created.”

“Never allow yourself to be a useful idiot in Hamas’s propaganda,” he continued, “You can have compassion for the real suffering of the Palestinian civilians of Gaza, and demand Israeli action to facilitate aid entry into the coastal enclave, while still holding Hamas accountable for its part in causing a hunger and starvation crisis in the first place.”
