I saw John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications for the NSA, interviewed on PBS last night.
He pointed out with great excitement that the Israelis have allowed a total, siege to date, 625 trucks to take supplies into Gaza since the beginning of the siege.
To keep Gaza supplied took 500 or more trucks daily before the siege.

Hello, this is Bing. According to some sources, **sieges are not prohibited** as such under international humanitarian law (IHL), but they must comply with **relevant rules** of IHL, such as the **prohibition against starvation of civilians** as a method of warfare and the **obligation to allow humanitarian relief** operations²³. However, there is also some debate about how to apply the **principle of proportionality** to sieges, which requires that the expected civilian harm does not outweigh the military advantage of the siege¹⁴. Do you want to know more about this topic?

I wouldn't call 20 a day compared to a required 500 to be proportional.
One has to question what the Israelis are really up to.
