A Gazan man featured in a video is accusing Hamas and local merchants of deliberately delaying the distribution of tents and aid to flood victims in order to stage photo opportunities. The accuser claims that these individuals were aware of an impending storm system a week in advance, according to weather forecasts, yet waited for the damage to occur before presenting themselves as "saviors." The video reportedly shows tents stored in warehouses while residents suffer from the flooding. The implication is that these groups are prioritizing the creation of viral images and videos of suffering Gazans to generate international attention and sympathy, rather than providing immediate relief. This alleged behavior is presented as a cynical manipulation of humanitarian crises for political gain and public relations.
