A UK charity raising money for Gaza is facing a police investigation over claims the cash ends up funding Hamas.

Save One Life UK has been reported to counter-terror police over fears some of the money it distributes to children may be diverted to the terror group.

The London-based charity has raised around £2 million in the past four years, with most of its aid directed to Gaza since the start of Israel’s military retaliation to the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas in 2023.

But The Telegraph understands that concerns have been raised about the lack of controls over the way the funds raised are spent.

A complaint about Save One Life UK’s activities was submitted to the Metropolitan Police on Thursday via the Government’s online system for reporting material promoting terrorism or extremism.

The complaint was “passed on to the counter-terrorism internet referral unit for investigation”.
