It's very clearly all of the above. There isn't enough food getting into Gaza so civilians are starving, and Hamas is putting its members ahead of hostages and civilians for food. The former is the larger problem and more easily addressable by the US since warlords are gonna warlord.are you really arguing the reason the hostages were emaciated upon release is because none of them have access to food? and their captors (you know, the guys with the machine guns and faces covered when not fighting) are similarly emaciated?
