What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs suspended its support to the Gaza Strip in March 2019 due to allegations of aid mismanagement. This suspension followed an Israeli charge against a World Vision employee, Mohammed El Halabi, who was accused of diverting millions of dollars of aid money to Hamas coffers. Although the Department of Foreign Affairs and World Vision later found no evidence of guilt, the funding was not resumed.
