Documentary or transaction evidence supports that Al-Falah transferred over $2.5 million to Hamas during the stated recent three-year period.

Source summary
The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated six Gaza-based charities and the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA), plus a U.K.-based individual, Zaher Khaled Hassan Birawi, alleging they are controlled by or provide material support to Hamas and its military wing. Treasury said documentary evidence taken from Hamas offices after October 7, 2023, shows the groups funneled funds and services to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, including more than $2.5 million from Al-Falah to Hamas over three years. The designations are made under Executive Order 13224 and block U.S. property and transactions involving the named entities, while warning of civil, criminal, and secondary sanctions risks for violators. OFAC said its action seeks to protect the humanitarian sector and inform donors and partners about terrorist-financing risks.
