While the embargo crippled Gaza's economy, at no point did observers identify a food crisis developing in the territory, whose residents rely heavily on international food aid.
Israel was forced to ease the land blockade under international pressure after the deadly attack on a Gaza-bound international flotilla in May 2010.
Since then consumer goods have been moving freely into Gaza from Israel, but construction materials are still largely barred entry. Israel argues that the Gaza militants could use goods like pipes and concrete in attacks on southern Israeli communities.
Israel states that the naval blockade, which remains in effect, is necessary to prevent smuggling of weapons at sea. The country also restricts exports, further constraining Gaza's economy.
If you read that with a non-biased eye it looks like Israel was letting in enough food to make sure people didn't starve (the 2,200 calorie count). That gets put out there as evidence that they are "restricting everything and want them to starve." It's like opposite world.

I never used the word "starve", I said Israel restricted food going into Gaza. What's the rationale for making foor scarce? Excess food can't be used for weapons.

After the teens were found in late May Palestinian areas have been tightened. That is over a month ago. Now there is limited power and clean water.
