Original Note:
International law does not prohibit sieges, but it is important to note that Gaza is not totally encircled by Israel, it has over 12 km border with Egypt. Moreover, in peace times, Israel provides only 1/3 of Gaza's potable water. https://www.chathamhouse.org/2019/06/sieges-law-and-protecting-civilians-0/iii-rules-international-humanitarian-law-particularly https://www.globalwaters.org/wherewework/middleeast/west-bank-and-gaza
