Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The UN's hunger monitoring group, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) - which includes the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization and other agencies - warned in a report in December that Gazans were facing widespread starvation within several months.
49% : That stark warning came in a report on Monday from a global authority on food security which was set up 20 years ago by UN agencies and humanitarian groups to sound the alarm on famines.
35% : "According to public reporting and your own statements, the Netanyahu government is in violation of this law," the legislators wrote, adding that the US "should not provide military assistance to any country that interferes with US humanitarian assistance".Biden and his aides could have prevented famine from taking hold in Gaza if they had listened to warnings from the UN and acted sooner.
33% : But Israel's extremist finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, blocked the shipment for nearly two months, as the UN and international relief officials continued to warn of the risk of widespread famine.
26% : Joe Biden and his administration are also complicit in this unfolding catastrophe: the UN and international relief groups have been warning about the potential for widespread starvation in Gaza since December.
