QUESTION OF THE DAY: Who is more responsible for the starvation in Gaza?

Israel announced a daily "tactical pause" in fighting in Gaza over the weekend amid accusations that its policies are exacerbating the growing hunger experienced there.

Israel has drawn sharp criticism from EU countries such as France as conditions for civilians have worsened in Gaza. Observers say Palestinians run the risk of being shot by Israeli forces as they approach the few aid spots run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

In addition, they say the aid distributed at those few spots is nowhere near what is needed.

Israel, meanwhile, blames the acute hunger Palestinians experience on Hamas, saying the terrorist organization that runs Gaza has been diverting food and selling it at high markups to fund its war.

Who do you think is more responsible? Let us know by voting in the poll.
