Well before the war with Israel, Hamas created their own humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been described as an open-air prison. The question is what the responsibility of the US and Israel is regarding humanitarian aid, and the response is that it is the responsibility of Hamas to surrender so that they can spare the suffering of their people. Everything happened for one reason: Hamas' actions. They didn't attack military targets; they atacked defenseless non-combattant civilians. The reason for the suffering in Gaza is Hamas,and it's not just the war. The Gazans suffered before: the water pipes funded by American tax payers were dug up and made into rockets instead of providing water to the people. Every dime of aid that goes to Gaza is turned into weaponry to be used to kill Jews.
