An interesting flour related fact

1.1.09

42 trucks of flour went in on 30 December - 1246 tons.

According to OCHA - who have been silent for a while - Gaza needs 450 tons of refined flour or 800 tons of unrefined wheatflour a day. So that's only a day and a half's worth in the worst case.
Previously flour and other raw foods entered Gaza via the conveyor at Karni. Karni is regularly hit by errant mortars from Gaza, but when working at full capacity is about 1000 tons of wheatflour a day. That level hasn't been seen since before the events of June 2007.
