re: #334 MandyManners

BBC News has seen documents, submitted to an Israeli Court, which give more detail than ever before about how and why Israel maintains its Gaza blockade.

In one document, Israel describes the import curbs as “a central pillar in the armed conflict with Hamas”.

It also confirms estimates were made of how many calories Gazans need, but says these were not used for policy-making.

WTF? This is pure bullshit. There is no shortage of food in Gaza, as any Daylife photo will confirm, and there are plenty of fat people walking around.
