Israel & the Gaza blockade:

Israel & the Gaza blockade:
Israeli Health officials provided calculations of the minimum number of calories needed by Gaza’s 1.5 million inhabitants to avoid malnutrition. Those figures were then translated into truckloads of food Israel was supposed to allow in each day.
But while the health ministry determined that Gazans needed daily an average of 2,279 calories each to avoid malnutrition — re
quiring 170 trucks a day — military officials then found a host of pretexts to whittle down the trucks to a fraction of the original figure.

Will future historians reveal that Israeli officials also pondered the fewest hours of electricity Palestinians in Gaza needed to survive, or the minimum amount of water, or the smallest living space per family, or the highest feasible levels of unemployment?
