Mohammad al-Halabi

aid worker

Mohammad al-Halabi is a former Gaza director for World Vision who gained international attention after being jailed in 2022 for allegedly diverting aid funds to Hamas. He spent over eight years in detention before being released in a prisoner exchange in 2023. Halabi has consistently maintained his innocence, asserting that the claims against him are based on fabrications, and he has criticized the lack of transparency in his trial, which drew condemnation from human rights organizations. Recent revelations suggest that even Hamas believed the allegations were false, as the group launched its own inquiries into his case, believing he had stolen funds that they never received.
