Hamas still provides salary and reward supporters

After almost two years of war, Hamas’s military capacity was severely weak and its political leadership under strong pressure.

However, throughout the battle Hamas has managed to use a secret cash-based system to pay 30,000 civilian symbols worth $ 7m (£ 5.3m).

The BBC told three civilian servants confirmed they received nearly $ 300 each last week.

It is believed that they are one of thousands of employees who continue to accept a maximum of 20% of their pre-war pay per 10 weeks.

Between inflation improvement, token salary – a part of the total amount – causing an increase in anger to the party faithfully.

Severe lack of food – blamed by agencies with the assistance of Israeli restrictions – and rise in maza cases, where a kilogram of flour is $ 80 – a long time.

With no function of the Gaza banking system, even receiving salary is complex and sometimes, dangerous. Israel indicated regularly and referred to Hamas’ salaries, trying to destroy the ability to handle the group.

Employees, from police officers to taxes, often received an encrypted message on their own telephone or their spouses that go to a certain location of “meet a friend for tea”.

At the point of the meeting, the employee was approached by a man – or sometimes a woman – which was disrespectful looking at a cellowner covering money before losing further interaction.

An employee of Hamas Ministry of Religious activities, which does not want to give his name for safe reasons, describes the risks involved in collecting his wages.

“Every time I go to take my pay, my wife and kids pretend to me. I know I can’t come back,” he said. “On many occasions, Israel’s strikes hit the salary distribution points. I endured someone who focused on a busy market in Gaza City.”

“I received 1,000 cycles (about $ 300) of tired banknotes – no merchant received.

“After two and a half months of hunger, they paid to us in covered money.

“I’ve always been forced to help with the distribution points of hope to get a flour to feed my kids. I sometimes succeed in bringing the little house, but most of the time I have failed.”

In March the military of Israel said they killed Hamas’s financial head, Ismail Barhoum, a strike of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yenis. They accused him of the wing wing channeling funds in Hamas.

It remains unclear how Hamas is managed to keep funding pay fees with the destruction of most administrative and financial infrastructure.

He said Hamas Leader’s Hamas Leader was directly guarded and his brother Mohammed – as killed by Israeli forces.

Hamas has a history that depends on funding from extreme importance and tax-imposed duties imposed by Gaza’s population, as well as receiving millions of support from Qatar.

To create income during the war, Hamas continued to replace the merchants’ tax and sold several cigarettes 100 times in their original cost. Before war, a box of 20 cigarettes is worth $ 5 – now risen over $ 170.

In addition to money fees, Hamas distributes parcels to eat its members and their families through local emergency committees that leadership is often broken because of the repeated strikes of Israel.

That promotes public anger, with many Gaza residents who accused Hamas with the help of distributing its supporters and excluding larger populations.

Israel accuses Hamas who stole help entering Gaza during the ceasefire this year, something Hamas denied. Although Gaza BBC sources say that the important cause of help has taken Hamas at this time.
