Does everyone just look at the numbers in the article and decide that they’re meaningful because they’re big? The population of Gaza is 1.5 million. Granted, not everyone is poor and starving. About one million of those people are poor, starving refugees, and those are the people the aid is targeting. So lets look at some of the numbers in context: in the first 3 months of the year Israel has provided 69 rations of rice per person. They have provided 8 hamburgers per person.

To claim that Israel is keeping people from starving is a bit of a stretch. Yes, they provide some aid, but not enough to adequately help anyone.
