Former hostage Omer Shem Tov, held for 505 days in Hamas captivity, was starved by Hamas while they forced him to haul hundreds of UN aid boxes into tunnels. He saw no lack of food in Gaza. “If there was starvation, it was caused by Hamas.”

"Have you seen our anti-Hamas protests in Gaza reported by the BBC or others? Of course not. Any journalist working with these networks must cooperate with Hamas or be beaten or killed."
