during a period of armed conflict with an hostile entity. The imposing power of the blockade is only obligated to not prevent humanitarian aid from reaching the civilian population. It is not obligated to supply the enemy with war material like cement and steel. If the Gazans are in despair, then maybe they can get their Hamas rulers to agree to a reasonable prisoner exchange and a formal, long-term cease fire with Israel in order to get the blockade lifted for reconstruction material. Everything in the Middle East has a price. Pay it or go without. No more freebies for Hamas.
